What This Does

Under the definitions, the Helperbird Dictionary lists Similar words, which mean roughly the same thing, and Opposite words, which mean the reverse. Each one is a button you can click.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone writing who keeps reaching for the same word
  • Students asked to use more varied vocabulary
  • People learning English who want to see a word's neighbours
  • Anyone who half-remembers a word and is trying to find it

Finding Similar Words

Look up a word, choose Full entry, and scroll down past the definitions. Similar words appears as a row of buttons.

This is a quick way to follow a chain of related words until you find the one you actually want. Your browser's back button returns you to the previous word.


Opposite Words

Opposite words works exactly the same way, and appears underneath.

Not every lookup returns similar or opposite words. If a list is missing, first check that Full entry is selected. Definitions only hides both lists and the examples.

This is my first google review ever! I have to share that the accessibility and support for independent access for students that Helperbird provides, is a game changer. It is constantly being updated with new features based on feedback and it is extremely user friendly. The ability to customize the settings allows students to have control over their own learning, aligning with Universal Design for Learning. Looking forward to sharing with students and fellow educators on a daily basis. Thanks, Helperbird team!
