- (2023-01-12) Doug Klimek: Awesome... Quick and easy! Keep it pinned on Chrome's menu bar right next to other always active icons.
- (2023-01-06) Kevin OConnell: This is the best thesaurus extension I've used by far. Good job Hippo!
- (2022-12-28) Brad Cookson: A great extension for a wide range of desired synonyms for any word I am looking for
- (2022-12-16) Knotty Toob: Been usin them, sans extension, for many years. They are rather compendious @ product, design and as a company.
- (2022-11-20) troy miller: I would have to say that whenever I have a research article or essay due for a class, Word Hippo and I are the best of friends. It helps me write using a vernacular more commonly used.
- (2022-11-19) Derrick Jones: I'm glad I discovered the WordHippo Thesaurus Chrome extension. There are often words in the articles I read that I do not understand. Finding synonyms or antonyms on Google is such a hassle. Click on any word and you'll find the answer! The WordHippo app is a must-have for everyone. - Derrick Jones
- (2022-11-16) klatoo14: great little app that works fast and isnt in the way
- (2022-09-25) David Alan Mors: quite fluid-easy shift from definition, to synonym, to...reveals everything about a word easily and quickly,. So far, so very helpful
- (2022-09-22) Z A: Does not work on Google Docs. But other than that it is flawless.
- (2022-09-09) Joseph Martin: From a longtime WordHippo app user and enthusiast: If you're the type that's gotta have THAT word, and no other will do, WordHippo always seems to have the full spectrum of synonyms from which to choose - and the extension is an added pleasure!
- (2022-08-31) No Name: Really simple and easy to use, gets the job done without any unnecessary popups, ads or complicated mechanisms.
- (2022-08-29) Deepesh Kushwaha: make life easy as pie.
- (2022-06-30) Jack Richard: I am 88 years old (yeah; a phenomeno prehistorico) but still most active every day. For many many decades, whenever I needed a synonym (or antonym), I was using Roget's like everyone else was doing at the time. However, a few years back, I discovered Hippo. WOW. Believe me, you will NOT find a BETTER thesaurus in the Whole Wide World. I am not being corny. Check this: From a single word you get 1-an unabridged dictionary for the definition of ALL words; 2-an inexhautible dictionary of literally hundreds of synonyms for each word and even for tons of idioms (e.g. Get cold feet); 3-Ditto for antonyms (as many as there are synonyms); 4- Dozens and dozens of sentences that include the word sought; 5- Hundreds of rhymes to the word in question; not to mention 6-Audio Pronunciation of every word, 7-Forms; and 8-Translations; rounded out by a 9-Search Engine that'll find you any word . . . presto. A bit like Wikipedia, Hippo is the World's Best Encyclopædic Reference Tool as far as Words and even Idioms are concerned, bar none - actually, it's a Gigantic Dictionary of Dictionaries in regards to the world of ''words''. It is sooooooo good that it quickly becomes addictive if, like me, you ''take pen in hand'' nearly every day. AND, all of this, again like Wikipedia, is FREE. To try it is to adopt it on the spot.

- (2022-05-30) John Pearson: Has gotten me out of a mental bind a few times now
- (2022-05-06) - Sucre: splendid
- (2022-05-03) Dr Sreepati Das: This is really incomparable for learning English words. Dr Sreepati Das
- (2022-04-16) Apoorva HP: I'm using this from last few days. Its good to work with
- (2022-04-13) Michael Harmon: I love the WordHippo extension. It has several different meanings & uses for a particular word including the synonyms for each example. It has really broadened my vocabulary.
- (2022-03-28) Alexis Tinsley Pope: Very good, it works well, unobtrusive but full of ideas if you need it. It certainly can give the user a wealth of possibilities. A very good Thesaurus.
- (2022-03-15) Cimberly Gonzales: Love it! Great extension tool to help with my writing
- (2022-03-14) nyah: Very helpful, but I wish clicking on the synonym in the pop-up would replace the word I highlighted.
- (2022-03-10) Ekta Varia: Very helpful and convenient.
- (2022-02-22) Just Sturgis: I love this extension! I have been using a bookmark link to WordHippo for months and always loved the design and the results. I had no idea there was a browser extension. It has been a huge boost to my productivity and writing endeavors! I really appreciate the craftsmanship and utility that WH brings to the table. I have this on every browser I use. It is now a permanent part of my toolkit.
- (2022-02-19) Marknikov Velesky: amazing extension, recommended
- (2022-02-18) oghaki: By far the best thesaurus option I've been able to find, and the quality extension and convenient access to other features are both great bonuses. Further, I even find the dictionary they provide to be one of the most useful. If I could make a suggestion, I would love the ability to sort / collapse based on some grammatical partition—for example, it would be great to be able to collapse all of the synonym groups for the adjective usage of a word, if I'm looking for a synonym of the same's usage as a noun. Fantastic tool, thanks again.
- (2022-02-17) Ruthann Carlisle: Ads with weird name put me off a couple of years ago. It would have saved me HOURS of work since then. BEST EVER!
- (2022-02-06) John Marcus: I liked the extension, but I couldn't find the synonym for the word 'hippo'. If there weren't any synonyms available for the word 'hippo', couldn't the extension show synonyms for parts of the hippo. What if the words were not coming from a dictionary, but a virtual talking hippo.
- (2022-02-06) Alison Blais: Don't know what I'd do without my lil Hippo sidekick !Love it!
- (2022-02-01) Operaistanbul: Best I have seen so far...
- (2022-01-28) Ánh Ngọc: love this
- (2022-01-14) Fantasy Police: So happy I decided to search for this app since I was repeatedly opening new wordhippo tabs. Of course they would provide utility for Chrome...
- (2022-01-11) Đình Mạnh: Love the extension, really helpful and useful. It speed up my study flow a lot.
- (2022-01-08) David Rogers: Very easy to use. Lots of options within it.
- (2021-12-29) Souheila Boubekeur: the extension is really helpful!
- (2021-12-18) Ryan: Always perceived word hippo to be far and above any similar service I have come across. This extension improves my productivity. It negates the minor annoyance and relatively significant need to stop, google word, etc. Importantly it negates the minor annoyance of the previous necessary step of stopping to google reference word. It may seem insignificant and perhaps silly to most to be so celebratory about an extension (and i agree). It seems I have an affinity perhaps even a compulsion to use find synonyms. When more basic words would likely suffice. -but they never will for me..
- (2021-12-18) Raj Kumar: Wordhippo is very helpful and handy..
- (2021-12-13) J. Russell: Outstanding extension! I use it constantly while writing articles.
- (2021-11-30) Romans 6:23: i love this extension. thank you for making this it's really helpful 💜
- (2021-11-26) Sethuraj Nair: What a work of beauty and utility!
- (2021-11-24) Jonski Salud: It's my go-to tool to improve communication!
- (2021-11-15) Michael Allred: Super easy to use! I like how handy it is.
- (2021-10-26) Eliav Vaknin: One of the best extensions on the market! I just wish they'll add translation capability and all the tenses of each verb.
- (2021-10-13) Denise Farris: I originally downloaded "WordHilppo" for the Thesaurus, and I must say, I am IN LOVE with "WordHippo". It is my go-to for everything. Being in school, especially in the medical field, when learning pronunciation is essential. This extension is a true lifesaver. I recommend anyone with the capability to download, pleases do so!!! You will not regret it!!
- (2021-10-06) Joel Tomei: Amazingly useful extension
- (2021-10-05) Riley McIntire: WordHippo was almost an afterthought when searching for a dictionary which works in Opera, being primary advertised as a thesaurus. However it's really, in ease of use, quickness, and breadth of material- dictionary, thesaurus, rhymes - one of the best tools available. Much better than Google dictionary, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary, OED, others I disremember. I've used many free ones. I may donate or pay for WordHippo. I use it daily. It's designed for Chrome but works well in Opera. My main, minor, beef is it complains about Opera's built-in adblocker which doesn't properly whitelist it. Quite possibly an Opera issue. If I donate I might mention this. Again, it's made for Chrome, not Opera, but works well in both. Highly recommended.
- (2021-10-05) Roger Phan: You have the results in just a few clicks without leaving the page, and the Tooltips Helper even makes it quicker, which is perfect for intense users.
- (2021-09-06) Kira Rain: I downloaded The Hippo extension specifically for the rhyme feature and it was honestly so disappointing. While it did bring up nearly hundreds of word options, almost 3/4 of them weren't even remotely close to sounding alike. I'm sorry but "finger" and "quarter" surely dont rhyme with "stranger", at least not where I'm from. Therefore I will be parting with this extension.
- (2021-08-28) Chelsea Jahn: holy smokes great and preetty and i love it
- (2021-08-25) historiically: Word hippo is a life saver if you are a writing an essay or revising a novel. There is an assortment of synonyms to choose from on the website, making your writing sound more knowledgeable and sophisticated. I love Word Hippo and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
- (2021-07-22) harekrishna_devotion_lover: Very good but litl laggy

- (2022-09-11, v:3.0) Simon: Doesn't work in google docs
Hi - same question as the unanswered 27 April question from another suer: This extension works on standard websites, but does not seem to work within google docs (where it would be most helpful). I highlight or double click a word, and nothing pops up as it does on a standard webpage. Any suggestions? - (2022-08-07, v:3.0) swantanrakumartiwari swantanrakumartiwari: Hindi
