How these synonyms differ

enraged - 'Enraged' implies a loss of composure, it's anger that has taken over, often with a violent edge.
furious - 'Furious' is anger at full intensity, uncontrolled and explosive. Use it when 'angry' feels too mild.
indignant - 'Indignant' adds moral dimension, you're angry because something is unfair or unjust, not just personally frustrating.
irate - 'Irate' is a slightly formal or elevated synonym. It works well in writing where 'angry' feels too plain.
irritated - 'Irritated' is low-grade anger, closer to annoyance. It suggests something rubbing you the wrong way rather than a real confrontation.
