wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Synonyms<\/strong>: Words with similar meanings but may have different connotations (e.g., &#8220;happy&#8221; and &#8220;joyful&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Antonyms<\/strong>: Words with opposite meanings (e.g., &#8220;happy&#8221; and &#8220;sad&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Related Words<\/strong>: Words that are not direct synonyms but are contextually related.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-67373791b7d96b2c257fafcff842079e\"
