Use a thesaurus for words on the board

[simonlindholm]

To more explicitly test all possible meanings of them. When you play codenames, you try to give more equal consideration to obscure meanings of words and to common ones than you'd normally do.

Don't we need similarity measures for the different meanings for this to work?

[simonlindholm]

Yes, I'm thinking of something like:

• given a board word w
• take all its synonyms, v_1 ... v_k
• give each synonym a relative weight a_i within [0, 1] by how strong the synonymy is, by taking some function of the similarity measure
• define the new similarity between w and another word z to be roughly max(a_i * sim(v_i, z))

(where presumably v_1 = w, a_1 = 1)
