Description

Synonymy is a non-profit, educational word game narrated by Richard Dawkins in which players are challenged to find the paths between random words through their network of synonyms. By taking the synonym of a word, and then a synonym of that synonym, and so on, you can ultimately arrive at any other word in the English language! Synonymy supports multiplayer, and weekly challenges in which word game enthusiasts can compete globally on set start and end words. Inclusion for foreign languages is in the works such that you could jump between languages mid-game, i.e. start in Japanese and end in German.
