Can anyone recommend (free) Thesaurus software for Windows XP (that isn't WordWeb)? It has to work with British English.

I want to install standalone software that gives me easy access (right click, keyboard shortcut or something) to alternatives to the selected word when I'm writing, whether it's an email, a text doc in notepad, on an internet forum or whatever.

I've tried WordWeb but found it pretty horrible - I want something that acts more like the Thesaurus in MS Word, giving a dozen or so decent alternatives to the selected word.

  • Do you realize that wordweb is built over one of the largest dictionaries available? Maybe if you search for other words... But wordweb thesaurus is rather complete and you will hardly get better than that. – A Dwarf Nov 01 '09 at 23:34
  • I want half a dozen clear and relevant suggestions rather than a zillion presented so badly that it makes them incomprehensible. – andygrunt Nov 02 '09 at 00:06
