A Reverse Dictionary
I’ve been wondering when one of these was going to show up on the Web. You can type in some words to retrieve words meaning similar things, somewhat like a thesaurus, I suppose. This site will not only help those of us who forget words, but it could also be useful to people learning English.
I tried it once and the words I was hoping to retrieve weren’t listed, but some other words on the list impressed me.

Addenda 11/9: This reverse dictionary points to other sources on the Web defining the word, like Merriam-Webster or Wikipedia. It is not a dictionary itself.
