Is enchanted another word for said?

No, "enchanted" and "said" are not synonyms.

* Enchanted means to be filled with magic or charm, often used to describe something that is captivating or spellbinding.

* Said is the past tense of "say" and simply means to speak or utter words.

While you might say "the enchanted forest" to imply a magical forest, you wouldn't use "enchanted" in place of "said" when referring to speech.

Here's an example to illustrate:

* Incorrect: The witch enchanted, "You shall not pass!"

* Correct: The witch said, "You shall not pass!"
