Is for when you literally cannot think of a word. You can search the most bizarre thing and exactly what you're looking for will come up. It's also useful as a regular thesaurus.

ok so I have to tell you, but I was looking up synonyms for 'diner' (which is irrelevant) but I clicked a site and my first thought while scrolling through what it had was "hey this site is really good" and so I looked to see what it was because being me I hadn't been paying attention to what it was called and it was wordhippo. so anyway thanks for sharing
