A thesaurus is a book that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which contains definitions and pronunciations. The largest thesaurus in the world is the Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary, which contains more than 920,000 words.

Is there an online thesaurus I can text to and get back results?
Q. I know I can use ChaCha or others but then my texts run out.. I want something like Google sms where you can send unlimited for free for a dictionary but I'd like a thesaurus. If not that's fine, but it'd be very appreciated.

A. My dear "mellow fellow"...(reminds me at the old Beatles song "They call ma mellow yellow"...) smile ! Well...I must say, that's a "big order", you wish to fulfill, honey!!! I really doubt, if such an endeavor is even possible to achieve, because the Thesaurus is such a comprehensive book...There is nowhere in the world, you'll be able to "memorize" the contents, sweetie! I don't think it's "humanly possible" to memorize a whole Thesaurus, but that's why such dictionaries exist...so you can look up the information you need ! But...I still wish you good luck in the process! Wish you all the best for the future ! Greetings from Germany with all my love & care...Annette***
