Will someone steer me toward a website/page that might include a very long list of verbs that mean 'said'--but are more creative: bellowed, whispered, chortled, guffawed, catcalled...etc. I could create a long list, but time is short.

If anyone here knows how to perform a search on this topic successfully--without much trouble--I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
WW

Have you tried this one

http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=say

?

Or this:

http://poets.notredame.ac.jp/cgi-bin/wn

This site gives a tremendous amount of synonyms and so on for any word you type in. I find it very useful.

Thanks to both of you. Those both work well, and will well work for future word problems.
