Classroom Thesaurus · word lookup, grouped by sense · Early access · standalone lookup opening gradually
Most words have more than one meaning, and a synonym for one meaning is often wrong for another. Classroom Thesaurus looks a word up and shows each of its senses on its own, with the synonyms and antonyms that belong to that sense -- so a student picks the word that fits the sentence, not the first word in a long undivided list. It runs on the same shared study engine as the rest of the platform, so a word’s synonyms can also be practiced with flashcards, match, and test.
The thesaurus, the grouped-by-sense lookups, and the six study modes are built and tested as a standalone classroom surface -- not yet wired into the editor or the rest of the writing tools. This standalone public lookup page is being opened up gradually and is not yet generally available on its own. This page describes what the tool does and how it behaves; the honest next step is to ask about early access.
At the centre is a small, plain idea: a word can mean more than one thing, and its synonyms and antonyms belong to whichever meaning they are the synonym or antonym of. Classroom Thesaurus keeps that structure instead of flattening it away. Look up a word and you see each of its distinct senses as its own group, each with a short plain-language gloss and the synonyms and antonyms that go with that sense -- not with the word in general.
The lookup surface sits on top of the platform’s shared study-set engine. Each word’s synonyms become study cards a student can practice with the same six modes the rest of the platform uses -- flashcard flip, match, test, and the rest -- with the same deterministic SM-2 spaced repetition scheduling review. Antonyms are shown for reference; they are not drilled as if they were synonyms, because "opposite of" and "synonym of" are different skills and mixing them would silently mislabel a practice card.
Honestly, where the build is: the thesaurus, the sense grouping, and the synonym practice mode are built and tested as a standalone classroom surface, not yet wired into the editor or the rest of the writing tools. A standalone public lookup page at this address is early access and is being opened up gradually. Where something is a plan rather than an open door, this page says so.
A word like "light" means something different when it is about weight than when it is about brightness -- and its synonyms are different for each. Classroom Thesaurus keeps the two apart.
Synonyms: lightweight, weightless, airy. Antonyms: heavy, weighty.
Synonyms: glow, brightness, radiance. Antonyms: darkness, dark.
A flat, ungrouped list would mix "airy" and "radiance" together as if they were interchangeable, when they answer two different questions about the word. Grouping by sense is a small design choice with a real effect: it stops a student from swapping in a synonym that is technically listed but wrong for the sentence they are writing.
A lookup answers one question and is forgotten. Classroom Thesaurus also turns a word’s synonyms into a small study set a student can practice: flashcard flip for a quick pass, match to pair each synonym with the sense it belongs to, and a graded test -- the same shared study engine and the same shared grader every other study surface on the platform uses. There is no second, thesaurus-only scoring logic here.
Review is scheduled with the same deterministic SM-2 spaced repetition as the rest of the platform: a card you get right comes back further out each time; a card you miss drops back to a short relearn step without losing all its earned progress. The schedule reads no clock and no random number beyond stamping when a card is next due, so the same state and the same answer always schedule the same way.
A student’s own practice figures -- mastery, retention, what is due -- are shown honestly, computed only from that student’s own graded reviews, in that session, on that device. Nothing about a student’s lookups or practice is sold or profiled.
Most free word tools pay for themselves by tracking the reader and selling ads against a search. Classroom Thesaurus does not. Lookups run on our own private system; a student’s searches are not built into a profile; nothing about classroom use is sold to an outside company. There is no ad network on this page and none in the tool.
The practice mode’s progress figures are honest, not marketing math: every number comes from the student’s own graded reviews in that session, computed by the same pure analytics the rest of the platform uses, and nothing is fabricated to look better than it is. This is not a "we hold no data" claim -- a practice schedule is real data. Where the practice surface carries a signed-in student’s persisted schedule elsewhere on the platform, that schedule is private minors data behind the school’s row-level walls, the same hardened pattern the platform uses for every other sensitive student row.
The starter word list behind this tool is small and deliberately original: every gloss, synonym, and antonym is written for this catalog, not copied or paraphrased from a published thesaurus. This page does not claim a specific word count, and it does not claim to be a complete or licensed thesaurus corpus -- it is a growing, original-authored starter list, and it stays that way rather than lift a source to look bigger than it is.
Not generally, yet. The thesaurus, the sense grouping, and the synonym practice mode are built and tested as a standalone classroom surface, not yet wired into the editor or the rest of the writing tools. This standalone public page at thesaurus.network is early access and is being opened up gradually. Early access is the way to get in while it is being opened up.
Because a word's synonyms depend on which meaning is in play. Grouping by sense keeps a word's different meanings from bleeding into each other, so a student picks a synonym that actually fits the sentence rather than the first word in an undivided list.
No. Antonyms are shown for reference next to the sense they belong to, but they are not turned into practice cards the way synonyms are -- opposite-of and synonym-of are different skills, and mixing them into one drill would mislabel a card.
No, and this page does not claim that. It is a small, original-authored starter list. Every entry is written for this catalog rather than copied from a published thesaurus, which is why the list stays intentionally short rather than lift a source to look bigger.
No. Lookups run on our own private system, searches are not built into a profile, and nothing about classroom use is sold to an outside company. There is no ad network on this page or in the tool.
There is no pricing on this page. The standalone page is in early access; the honest next step is to ask about access, not to check out. For a school on the wider platform, the classroom thesaurus comes as part of the platform, with terms set during onboarding -- not a per-lookup charge described here.

Classroom Thesaurus — sense-grouped synonyms and antonyms, and a synonym practice mode built on the shared study-set engine and its shared grader — is built and tested as a standalone classroom surface -- not yet wired into the editor or the rest of the writing tools, and the standalone public lookup page is early access and not yet generally available on its own. This page describes the tool’s design and behaviour; it does not present early access as a finished, open product. There are no invented word counts, user counts, or testimonials on this page. The starter word list is small and original-authored, never lifted or paraphrased from a published thesaurus, and the page does not claim it is a complete corpus. No ad network, no tracked searches, nothing about a lookup sold to an outside company. No competitor dictionary or thesaurus brand names appear on this page. Money, pricing, and checkout are not on this page. A licensing / usage-terms statement about the word-list content is pending counsel review and is not written here. The honest next step is to ask about early access.
