What's New in Synonymy

3.0.5

September 16, 2015

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. A big performance upgrade for all devices, now optimized for iOS9. This is a major update with the mechanics rebuilt from the ground up to make the game easier and much more fun. The order of the synonyms is now dynamically generated according to difficulty setting and your target word so you don't have to comb through as many, especially the closer you are to your goal. The score algorithm has been rebuilt accordingly. Several bug fixes have also been addressed.

Sometimes a bit frustrating but fun or meditative - glad profits go to education

Unwelcome Change

I enjoyed the previous version of the game and wish I hadn't updated. Personally, I find the new mechanics take away the pleasure of encountering obscure words as I scroll though the pages and of searching for alternate paths through the semantic web.
It's a very different game now to the one I've enjoyed.

Very good! I love it.

Great job. It's an excellent game if you are interested in improving your English. It is good, specifically for native speakers or anyone who speaks English at an advanced level. Its a perfect game to play before going to sleep since its exciting and boring enough at the same time.
