This is a wonderful resource for any one who has anything to do with writing!
Type in a word and VS will make a movable feast of word links that are either endlessly expanding, which is a very pleasant experience (for me anyway), of restricted to, say, just adverbs or adjectives, etc.
Watching the words move on the screen and all the spin off words, also makes that connections that add to my thinking and to where my writing might 'go' in ways that, otherwise, would not have occurred to me.
You can also set it to two or 3D and pull the latter in any direction.
Sometimes, I think of a word and just watch it without any mental effort, a sort of meditation I suppose, which gets the creative juices flowing - and keeps me at the computer!
Take a look; I think you'll find it useful and I hope you find it enjoyable.
