/**
|
|
* Game of Synonym
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* Based on the Basic game of Synonym here
|
|
* https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/blob/main/85%20Synonym/synonym.bas
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: The idea was to create a version of the 1970's Basic game in Java, without introducing
|
|
* new features - no additional text, error checking, etc has been added.
