Rhymesaurus Free Edition

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffJuly 15, 2008This program provides a number of handy tools for working with words, but it also consumes a great deal of system resources. Downloading Rhymesaurus's 50MB installer can take a while, and once the program is on your machine it eats up nearly 100MB of RAM. Although the program's interface is not beautiful, it is simple to understand at first glance. You simply enter a term into the search box, then choose from such options as Dictionary, Thesaurus, and, of course, Rhymes. If you opt for the latter, you'll find all sorts of options for narrowing down the program's list of generated words. For instance, you can specify that Rhymesaurus return straight rhymes, reverse rhymes, homophones, or just terms with assonance and consonance. We can recommend this program to folks who work with words on a daily basis, so long as they have plenty of hard-drive space to spare.
