  • cool! i tried a difficult one at first just to test its intelligence. Godzilla.

    ( http://www.wordnik.com/words/Godzilla#related ) rhymes look great, but

    the synonyms make little sense.

  • Oh, thanks! The green words aren't synonyms ... they are words that are used in similar contexts. For example, mustard and mayonnaise aren't synonyms, but people talk about them in similar ways.

    Of course, even with that explanation the same-context words for Godzilla don't make all that much sense, either. Good thing we're working on updating that data, huh?

  • I like the rhyming words especially. And the wordmap for loin just introduced me to the word griskin. Cool.

  • Thanks ruzuzu. We're pretty happy with it — and would love feedback on what can make it better.

  • Hm.

    *puts on thinking cap*

    I like it as it is, but someday it'd be fun to see palindromes and anagrams....
