A synogram is a pair of words which are synonyms with the added rule that they are also anagrams (plus or minus one letter.)
For instance, bush and shrub are synonyms with only the letter R added to bush to make it an anagram of shrub. Another synogram pair is ludicrous and ridiculous.
What other synograms can you find?
Some short synograms:
Cue and Clue
Ram and Cram
Yen and Envy
Fax and Faux
Lag and Flag
Owl and Fowl
Gel and Glue
Dog and Goad
Mar and Harm
Shh ! and Hush !
Tic and Itch
Nix and Jinx
Ilk and Like
Bio and Obit
Ire and Rile
Law and Weal
Wed and Weld
Aye and Yeah
Two long ones are:
Counterindication and Countervindication
Halfheartednesses and Falseheartedness
