Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Synonym Match is a straightforward, effective educational tool that turns vocabulary building into a quick-fire game. The premise is as simple as it gets: you are given a word and must select its synonym from a list of options. While it lacks the flashy graphics of big-budget puzzle games, its focus on clean, distraction-free learning is its greatest asset. It’s an ideal app for students preparing for exams or for adults looking to keep their minds sharp during a break.
The game does a great job of scaling difficulty. It starts with common everyday words but quickly moves into more academic and obscure vocabulary that will challenge even well-read players. I appreciated the 'Review' feature, which lets you look back at words you missed to see their definitions. It’s a lean, efficient, and genuinely helpful app for anyone looking to expand their verbal repertoire without any unnecessary filler.

Tips & Walkthrough
The score multiplier is tied to your speed. Don't overthink the word—usually your first instinct is correct. If you're unsure, eliminating the obviously wrong antonyms is the fastest way to find the right synonym.
Gameplays
At the end of each round, tap the 'Review' button. The app will show you the words you missed along with their definitions and several synonym examples, which is the most effective way to ensure you learn the word for the next time it appears.

Good but so annoying
Mon Apr 23 2018 Halj29When you match words the delay for the next match is ten years. Allow the player to click past the wait. Then it's a five
Brain exercise
Thu May 18 2017 CzyunnddjFor those of us who are over 50, Winning Words is an excellent brain and short-term memory exercise. The fireworks at each successful match are good brain stimulation. Just addictive enough to keep my brain in good working order. --Chicago Blue

Time Waster
Mon Apr 23 2018 garwahThe idea is great but there is far too much time wasted when a match is made. You can't just tap and get to the next match. You have to wait until the fireworks stop! Too slow!
So weird
Tue Jul 23 2019 brutefulDelay between matches is this apps killer. Plus the fireworks between every match gives you a seizure
