any underlined word to find that word in any of Rhymesaurus'

thesaurus, rhyming dictionary, sounds-like reference, and
Rhymesaurus unique "WordSurf" feature, following a lexical
trail until you find just the right word.

you move back and forth among your search results.
Rhymesaurus is more than just a rhyming dictionary! It includes

senses of over 115,000 English words.
Thesaurus

organized into 1000 topical categories, with full search capabilities.
Rhyming Dictionary
Rhymesaurus' rhyming dictionary contains over 120,000 words,
and quickly gives you perfect single, double or triple-syllable
rhymes, rhymes on the final syllable only, rhymes on the first
syllable of a word, reverse rhymes, reverse rhymes on the
first syllable of the word, homophones (words that are pronounced
the same), words with the same pattern of consonant or vowel
sounds, and words that begin with, end with or contain a specific
pattern of sounds.
Perfect Rhymes, Light Rhymes and Final-Syllable Rhymes
Perfect rhymes (also called "normative" rhymes) make it easy
to find words that end with the same sounds and the same lexical
reference, regardless if they are single-syllable rhymes (e.g.,
cat/hat), double-syllable rhymes (e.g., piranha/iguana), or
triple-syllable rhymes (e.g., hammering/stammering).
Light rhymes are word pairs where the final syllable of one
is stressed, but the penultimate syllable of the other is
stressed (e.g., morning/sing). If you enter a word with the
lexical stress on the final syllable, Rhymesaurus will show
you words with the stress on the penultimate syllable, and
vice versa.
Use final-syllable rhymes to find words that end with the
same sound, regardless of lexical emphasis.
First-Syllable Rhymes
First-syllable rhymes helps you find words whose first syllable
rhymes (e.g., porcupine, fork, orchid, etc.).
Reverse Rhymes
Reverse rhymes makes it easy to find words that start with
the same sounds, with the same pattern of lexical emphasis.
Reverse first-syllable rhymes show you words that start with
the same sound in the first syllable, regardless of lexical
emphasis. Back rhymes are like reverse rhymes on the final
syllable of the word (e.g., backpack/notepad).
Homophones
The rhyming dictionary's homophone search makes it a snap
to find all spellings of words that are pronounced the same.
Consonance
The consonance features lets you quickly find all words that
have the same pattern of consonant sounds, regardless of spelling.
Selecting "Consonance" gives you words that end in the same
consonant sound (e.g., back/neck). "Double Consonance" gives
you words that have the same final two consonant sounds (e.g.,
blackjack/joke). "Full Consonance" matches all consonant sounds
in the word.
Assonance
The assonance features shows you all words that have the same
pattern of vowel sounds, regardless of spelling. "Assonance"
finds words whose final vowel sound matches (e.g., back/ran).
"Full Assonance" finds words where all vowel sounds match.
"Full Assonance w/End Cons" shows words with the same vowel
pattern and the same consonant sound at the end of the word.
Sight Rhymes
Sight rhymes are words that look like they would rhyme, but
don't. Examples include good/blood/mood, love/move/rove, and
so on.
Half-double Rhymes
A half-double rhyme is a word pair where the final stressed
syllable of one word rhymes with the penultimate stressed
syllable of the other. Rhymesaurus can find half-double rhymes
for words with the lexical stress on either of the final two
syllables.
Amphisbaenic Rhymes
Amphisbaenic rhymes are rhymes where the final syllable is
the same, in reverse.
Elided Rhymes
Elided rhymes are word pairs where the words would be a perfect
rhyme, except that one of the two words has a final vowel
sound that the other does not (e.g., vivid/lived).
Begins With, Ends With and Contains Begins With shows all
the words that begin with the same sounds, without regard
for syllabification or lexical emphasis. Ends with shows all
words that end with the same sounds. Contains shows all words
that contain the specified pattern of sounds.
These differ from other rhyme types, in that syou simply specify
a pattern of sounds that you are looking for, rather than
a word you want to match. For example, selecting Ends With
and searching for "ting" will find all words that end in "ting",
including "batting", "knitting", etc.
Sounds Like Reference
Find words that sound similar, using two different "sounds-like"
computer algorithms.
WordSurf
WordSurf is a special reference tool with 120,000 root words,
that combines the features of a dictionary, a thesaurus, and
much more.
In addition to providing definitions, synonyms and antonyms
as you would find in standard references, WordSurf allows
you to ask questions that no standard reference can answer,
such as "what are the parts of an automobile?" or "what musical
instruments are similar to a guitar?" or "what animals are
mammals?"
Pattern Matching
The Pattern Matching tool makes it easy to find words based
on their lexical stress patterns and beginning and/or ending
sounds. For example, you could use the Pattern Matching tool
to find all two syllable words beginning with the letter "c"
whose lexical stress is on the final syllable.
