➤Understanding Thesaurus Entries

A thesaurus meaning is a definition shared by a group of synonyms. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings, e.g. happy/joyous. Antonyms are words that have the opposite meaning of the word being defined, e.g. happy/unhappy. Classmates are words that are related in some way to the word being defined, e.g. octagon/polygon, triangle, rectangle, pentagon ….

➤Understanding Flashing Messages

When you first see a definition, notice the upper right corner of the screen. Often either THES or CONF (or both) will flash briefly. THES means the word you looked up has a thesaurus entry.

If you see THES flash, press thes to view the thesaurus entry.

CONF means the word you looked up has a confusable. To learn more about confusables, please see “Viewing Confusables” on page 12.
