Searching for that perfect word but can't put your cursor on it? Answers.com announced today its offering of an exclusive English language tool - access to the Random House Word Menu - helping people find the exact word at a moment's notice. Word Menu, created by the late esteemed lexicographer, Stephen Glazier, is the ultimate writer's reference source: a reverse-dictionary, thesaurus, almanac and collection of glossaries divided into logical categories to help users find the word they need. Word Menu was originally published in 1992 but has never been available on the web until now.

Answers.com's Word Menu is the perfect tool for editors, journalists, writers and teachers. As a creativity tool, the interplay of word associations helps users brainstorm a topic, conduct preliminary research or simply overcome creative blocks and lapses in memory when looking for a specific word.

?Word Menu is a terrific tool for all of us - professional and everyday writers alike - who know what we want to express but can't always put our fingers on the right words,? said Bob Rosenschein, CEO of Answers.com. ?As a simple example, look up words related to the terms ?mortgage' or ?double date.' In the words of the editors of this amazing publication, this resource ?helps bring the expanding multilayered world? into clearer focus by creating a framework for ordering the mass information that is constantly bombarding us?and allows users to find information with ease in any of hundreds of different subjects and areas of interest.' We are proud to bring this groundbreaking word-lover's tool online.?

In related news, the company recently added Collins Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary to Answers.com. The result of more than 50 years of analysis of some 300,000 crossword clues, this dictionary ranges from plain quick crosswords requiring only synonyms, to the much more difficult puzzles requiring a pun or other play on words.

?As examples, users are encouraged to look up words like golfer or apple to witness the helpful results. With Answers.com being the first website to integrate this unique dictionary, lovers of crosswords will undoubtedly find this recent addition an insightful tool in their quest to conquer their next puzzle,? concluded Rosenschein.
