• Would be nice if it were updated once in awhile

  ZahharAugust 20, 2012

  Pros

  Searches through nearly 100k words for matches to phonetic patterns described in the interface. These can be as simple or as complex as you please, and the results are always fascinating and often usable.

  Cons

  This tool searches through 93,380 English words. There are several times as many in a good unabridged dictionary, not to mention variants from pluralization, tense changes, etc. The dictionary has not been updated in 10 years. I'd purchase a new copy if the dictionary were updated periodically. If a little time were invested in updating the dictionary every couple of years, this tool would get a fresh run of sales every time. There is the occasional bug where nonsense is returned for your phonetic description, but this is rare and also consistent. You learn to avoid such searches.

  Summary

  This tool becomes invaluable to people who want to find rhymes, assonance, consonance, frame rhymes, reverse rhymes, and various polysyllabic parallelisms to use in their poetry or even their writing in general. So, it's basically a fantastic tool. It just needs to be updated once in a blue moon.
