In writing, especially creative writing, over-repetition of the same words can make writing dull or interesting. Replacing a word with an equivalent one (or a perhaps more specific one) can improve the communication of the content.

An important caveat is that ALL of the synonyms listed in a thesaurus do not have exactly the same meaning. Words often have very specific definitions, and may only be used in certain contexts.
