Writer's Block is a skill that helps you find synonyms and rhymes, and hopefully get your writing back on the move.
There are three types of phrases you can use to invoke the skill:
- Open Writer's Block: Alexa will lead you through the process, asking you for all the details she needs. - Ask Writer's Block for words rhyming with/that are synonyms of happy: Alexa will ask how many syllables you want the words to have. - Ask Writer's Block for two syllable words that rhyme with/are synonyms for sad: Alexa will go straight to giving you the words that match your query.
Once you have some results, you can save specific words by saying 'select <word>' or 'save <word>', replacing <word> with the word you want to store. These can then be retrieved by saying, for example, 'Ask Writer's Block for my saved words' or 'Ask Writer's Block for my stored rhymes for happy'.
I hope you find the skill useful.
The skill uses the Datamuse API to find synonyms and rhymes (see https://www.datamuse.com/api for full details).
