Visuwords--A Cool Tool for Word Nerds


I found this site just way too much fun. It appeals to those people who are in love with words, by making the dictionary and the thesaurus into a visual, interactive toy. You know who you are--the ones who people call a walking, talking thesaurus, the ones who read dictionaries (and etymologies!) for fun, the ones who love to play with words.



Here is an example of the view for "school." In the actual site, you can hover over a word in the illustration, and it will provide you with a definition and loads of information. The site automatically loads on library, with the link I've made above.


Enjoy.
