The Rhymezone
The RhymeZone.com is an online tool that aspires to be the best and fastest way for writers to find words.
You can use it to help write poetry, song lyrics, greeting cards, term papers, and more. You can use it to explore relationships between words. You can use it to find the correct spelling of a word you´re not quite sure of. You can use it as a springboard for finding pictures, documents, and other multimedia items related to a particular concept that you´re writing about. Finally, you can use it to see how your word is used in the context of famous quotes, poems, and plays.
To use RhymeZone, type a word into the search box, select a function in the dropdown list next to the box, and then hit "Go get it!" to view the results. Here are the different functions that you can select from that dropdown list:
Find rhymes: This function will return words that rhyme with the word you typed in.
Find synonyms: This function will return words that are the same or similar in meaning to the word you typed in.
Find anonyms: This function will return words that can mean the opposite of what you typed in.
Find definition: This function will search for definitions of the word you typed in. It will also allow you to submit your query to other online dictionaries on the Web.
Find homophones: This function will return words that have exactly the same pronunciation as what you typed in but are spelled differently.
Find similar sounding words: This function will return words that have a pronunciation that´s similar, but not necessarily the same, as what you typed in.
Match consonants: This option will return words that have the same pattern of consonant sounds. Phonetic, for example, will return fanatic.
Find related words: This option will return words that are related in some important way to what you typed in.
Find similar spellings: This option will return words in the dictionary that are spelled similarly to what you typed in. Use this feature to spell-check a word that you aren´t sure of.

Search for pictures: This function will search for kids-friendly pictures on the Web related to the word you typed in.
Search in Shakespeare: This function will search all of Shakespeare´s plays and poems for your word.
Guidelines
I found a wonderful website for writers that contains lists of publications accepting submissions.
What is wonderful is this site also offers the writers guidelines for each of the publications listed.
This site saves alot of time for writers by providing all the facts in advance.
Submissions are more likely to be accepted if the writer follows the guidelines.
