È forse più un dizionario di sinonimi che un thesaurus, ma è molto pratico da usare, anche per la scelta dell'ordine alfabetico. Se hai già il termine che ti serve sulla punta della lingua, ti basta cercare sull'indice e trovi il lemma con un elenco di sinonimi, se vuoi un'analisi più approfondita, la cerchi nel corpo del dizionario stesso.
