Adjectives are the flavor of writing. They transform your words and make them more vivid by creating a picture in the minds of your readers. You can say “it was raining,” but you could also say “The crystal clear raindrops hit the ground silently.” The second sentence does a better job of engaging your readers.
You probably lean on the same words all the time in your writing. We’re sure a few are coming to mind right now. But not to worry, when that happens, use ProWritingAid’s Repeats Report to find your overused words, and then use the Word Explorer to discover all the different ways you can say something.
Then there are times when you need a specific adjective, one that starts with a particular letter because it just fits. Perhaps it goes with the flow of your sentences or it fits the overall mood. Whatever the case, it can be hard to just pick an appropriate adjective
Take the letter “F,” for example—how many adjectives can you think of that start with F? We’ve compiled a master list of adjectives starting with F, so you can have a go-to reference.
