Using a Rule-Based Word Swap the Right Way
What This Tool Actually Does
This tool looks up each word in your text against a fixed dictionary of about 174 common words and their synonyms, and replaces some of them at random based on the intensity you choose. It does not read or understand your sentence the way an AI language model does — it works one word at a time.
Why Some Words Are Left Alone
Highly ambiguous words — ones with several unrelated meanings depending on context — are deliberately excluded from the dictionary. Swapping a word like that without understanding the sentence around it would likely produce an obviously wrong result, so it's safer to leave it untouched.
Who Uses This
- Students brainstorming alternate ways to phrase a sentence in an essay draft.
- Writers looking for a quick nudge past repetitive word choices.
- Anyone comparing a few word-level alternatives before rewriting a sentence themselves.
