How to play?

One target word, three synonyms to find. The length of each expected synonym is shown as letter boxes: this game rewards lexical precision, not brainstorming.

A target word appears, along with a short prompt.
Three rows of boxes show how long each expected synonym is.
Submit one synonym at a time; every answer is checked instantly.
Find all three synonyms to win the round.

Why play?

Builds active vocabulary, not just recognition.
The displayed length guides you without giving it away.
Made for anyone who loves the nuances of language.

Tips

Start from the first letter and the length: run through words beginning with that letter and count their letters before typing, so you don't waste guesses.
If the target word has several meanings, explore them all: a row may match a sense you hadn't thought of at first.
Switch registers: an expected synonym can be more formal, more casual or more specific than the starting word.
After a wrong guess, correctly placed letters stay locked in green. A guess of the right length therefore tells you something, but every miss costs points.
Each synonym only counts once, so there's no point entering it again on another row.

Frequently asked questions

How do you play Synonymo?

A target word appears with three rows of boxes. Each row expects a synonym whose first letter and length are shown. Enter one word at a time, in any order, with unlimited tries. Find all three synonyms to win. The words are in French.

Is Synonymo free to play?

Yes. Synonymo is completely free and runs in your browser, on desktop or mobile, with nothing to download. You can play today's grid without an account; a free account unlocks the archive of past days, and SIWA+ (€18 a year) removes ads and adds advanced stats.

Why doesn't my correct synonym fit in the grid?

Each row expects one specific synonym, and its first letter and length are shown: a valid word with a different length or initial simply won't fit. The synonyms for each grid are prepared with the help of AI.

How long does a game of Synonymo take?

Allow one to three minutes. The reference time is short, around a minute and a half: beating it earns you bonus points, while taking much longer brings a penalty.

When does the Synonymo grid change?

Every day at midnight, in your local time. Everyone plays the same word that day, so the daily leaderboard is a fair comparison. Past grids stay playable in the archive with a free account.
