Type a French word above and get synonyms grouped by meaning, each with two example sentences showing it in context — built for the moment you notice you've written heureux three times in one paragraph and need a different word without changing the register. It matters for a TCF Canada response that needs stronger vocabulary, and just as much for a formal letter where repeating the same word starts to look careless. The database covers 155 common words, not the full French lexicon — rare or technical vocabulary isn't in there yet.
Those 155 words split across four parts of speech — 63 verbs, 44 nouns, 37 adjectives, and 11 adverbs — each with four to six synonyms and two example sentences. Twelve common starting points, including aimer, beau, heureux and vie, are one tap away if you'd rather browse than type. For grammar help alongside a synonym swap, the French Verb Conjugator checks the new word's forms and the French Gender Checker confirms whether it's le or la.
Search ignores accents in both directions — typing ecrire or écrire returns the same results — so you don't need to hunt for the right keyboard shortcut mid-sentence. Click any synonym chip in a result and, if that word is also in the database, it searches it in turn, letting you chain from one word to a more precise one. If it isn't in the database, clicking copies it to your clipboard instead.
TCF, TEF, DELF, and DALF all score written production partly on lexical range — using the same three or four words throughout a response reads as weaker French even when the grammar is correct. Swapping in a precise synonym instead of repeating bon or dire for the fourth time is one of the fastest ways to lift a response from adequate to strong, and it costs nothing extra in word count.
