Donna and I really appreciate the diversity of our guests and we are always amazed at how well spoken they are. I still run to the dictionary and sometimes to the thesaurus after a morning conversation.
With Donna in Houston, I started looking at a few words; recalcitrant, curmudgeon, etc. that, in a strange way, might be a reflection of my missing her. At any rate I hope you enjoy using this online thesaurus tool 
This should be a great way for kids to learn new words. Imagine this tool expanded so a student could use the words in the nodes in sentences, including verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.

Two words sprung to mind today (in response to "what's the good word?")
Supercilious and Mellifluous. Sadly enough couldn't find either in the VisuWords.
Of course I couldn't come up with a definition for either, it is disconcerting when you know a word but have no clue what it means. So I fell back on Microsoft Word. An while MS may be supercilious the pronunciation is mellifluous.
I'm done now.

I do not think one should use mellifluous, simply because it is too hard to pronounce and therefore is incongruous with its definition.
