Don't you hate it when you have a word that you can't quite think of, but is on the tip of your tongue? Well next time you are in that situation, check out Chir.ag 's site Tip of My Tongue

I have found it to be pretty effective. The best results I have found is to search the first and/or last letter and a meaning. Try it out for your self.

About Tip of my Tounge: (From Chir.ag)

   * I use a mix of dictionaries, primarily WordNet 2 (MySQL). The problem with just WordNet is that it doesn't include all words so I have to rely on other sources.
   * This is not an extremely thorough dictionary search application and is instead aimed to provide very fast results to help you narrow down to the word you are looking for.
   * Currently only one meaning per word is shown. The word 'set' may have 52 meanings in the dictionary but since the goal of this tool is to find the word and not define it thoroughly, only meaning is shown.
   * The 'Word Meaning' search looks for the criteria in the meaning of every word in the dictionary. It is not an synonym search though it is possible to build that feature too if enough people ask me to.
