HIT: Need a place to find a word based on the definition

["McLean, C. D." <McLeaCD@BERKELEYPREP.ORG>]

Hi,

I had a great response from people on this question.  I ended up buying
Bernstein's Reverse dictionary.   I am attaching all the helpful
replies.  Thanks again!

Reverse Dicitionary info:

Use "reverse dictionary" as the search term on Google.com -- I found
this:

http://www.wordtree.com/

We have a book called Bernstein's reverse dictionary. It should do the
trick!=20

How about a crossword dictionary? Merriam Webster has one.

I own a small handheld electronic dictionary that provides the feature
you=20
are seeking.  You key in a keyword and press the Def Search button and
it=20
finds, one-by-one, all the words in the dictionary with that word in it.

I am home and the item is at my library.  so I can't tell you the brand
name,=20
but it is still being made because I saw it in Office Max just a few
weeks=20
ago.  I'm pretty sure it is by Franklin.
