Synonymy is a non-profit educational word game narrated by Richard Dawkins where players are challenged to find a path 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 a language. The game supports multiplayer and weekly challenges in which users can compete globally on set start and end words. Every time a path is uncovered by a user it is tweeted from @synonymygame and posted to our Facebook page. All profits go to educational charities. A visualization of the games network can be seen here -- http://tinyurl.com/med6g8b -- In order to compute relative distance all synonyms were mapped using 3d graphing software as if each word were a planet that had a gravitational pull proportional to its number of relationships to other nodes. Above is a 2D representation of that model a 40000 x 40000 rendering. Music by Daduk
