Word Hippo: A Hippo You Will Love!

Thesaurus and word tools for your creative needs

We are featuring this site pick thanks to a reminder from our dear friend Muriel.

Let’s say you’re feeling particularly ornery and you want to lash out. You could write a vitriolic diatribe and post it on your social media account. But what if you don’t like the word vitriolic — say it annoys you because it sounds like I’m a sesquipedalian?

If you visit Word Hippo you can type in vitriolic you will see a list of synonyms such as spiteful, venomous, hurtful, acerbic, bitter, cruel, rancorous, malicious, hateful, sarcastic, vicious, and caustic. If that’s not enough for you, you can click on any of those words and get synonyms for them too.

But let’s suppose you’re feeling the opposite. Type in “Vitriolic” and find words that mean the opposite.

Word Hippo also finds rhyming words too. If you’re a poet or rap star or songwriter you might find this useful.

“She stuck her finger in the faucet hole
And pulled out a nasty multi-colored troll.
She started screaming and the firemen came
They tried to save her but they were lame.

That was the end of old Lucille McDill…
She was the owner of the cider mill.
No more cider guys, the press is dry,
Wipe that tear dripping from your eye.

The funeral’s Tuesday and I’ll see you there.
If you want please come and say a prayer…”
