How this page was made

The rings above were chosen by hand for tukuk.org, sense by sense, and checked against usage rather than a synonym database dump. The dictionary tool can list WordNet’s full synonym sets for any of 200,000 words; this shelf keeps the forty words where choosing is genuinely hard and says how.
