I love word games. I did a few rounds scouring my brain for synonyms but there wasn't really any reward for getting one correct other than yet another word that I might not know any synonyms for :sweat_smile: I didn't know 'vitrolic' (was it supposed to be 'vitriolic'?) so I wished there was a skip function. Some of the words I typed didn't work when I expected them to, like 'demoralized' and 'disheartened' for 'discouraged'. I guess you could argue they're not true synonyms.

That said, it's impressive for a 3 hour job. I haven't played anything else like it yet. Well done.

Kind of a neat idea. I'm apparently really bad at synonyms cause I sucked at this game. :laughing:

It's lovely to even get something done in 3 hours, good job!

But I'm either really bad at this or the vocabulary was a bit limited / using a very strict definition of synonym, I only got 3 points :smile:

A really solid entry for a game made in only a few hours, well done. This is a very nice twist on the theme and the gameplay loop is simple but fun. English is not my mother tongue so I had to dig kind of deep to find good synonyms, which led to learning new words with some targeted research after playing :) Good job !
