What players say
Players are split on Synonymy. Some praise it as a unique educational tool for expanding vocabulary, especially for English learners. Others criticize it for missing obvious synonym connections and nonsensical links, with a few calling it overpriced for what it offers. The UI and controls are widely panned as some of the worst on desktop.
