This question has been asked many times.

For different words instead of "said" see here:

For a discussion on the use of these words, see here:

Looking at the List of Articles in the Writing Tips forum always helps. :)

And remember, sometimes the best replacement for said is nothing at all. :)

So like:

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

She rolled her eyes. "About the midterms, remember? Or have you forgotten already?"

"Oh." He scratched his head.

So you don't HAVE to put a "he said" in there at all.

Play around with it... it's good exercise. :)
