The library of the mountain

Every word in the bank, three ways in

This is the whole word bank Synonym Stack plays from: 3,600+ pairs across 3,000+ words, built from WordNet 2025 and then audited by hand rather than generated and shipped.

3,000+ word pages · 31 themes · 5 tiers · WordNet 2025

Every figure in this band is computed from the word bank when the site is built and then floored to the nearest hundred, because the bank keeps growing. None of them are typed into the copy.

Shelves, in the order they fill up

A theme is the part of the world a word is about. Qualities is by far the biggest shelf, because adjectives are where English keeps most of its near misses.

Five tiers, one ascent

The bank scores every pair from one to five. The daily stack climbs all five in order, and the tier pages let you read a single band end to end.

A library you can read, and a mountain you can climb

The pages here are the reference. The app is the practice: a five rung stack every day, a stage by stage ascent of Mount Lexicon, and a journal of every word you have met.
