Help to understand how strong a word is
It would be really useful to know how synonyms are sorted in their "seriousness". Sometimes I'm just not sure if the word is too strong or too weak to use.
Having some system (labels, numbers) to know would help.
For example, I would arrange from weakest to strongest:
Sympathize > Like > Adore > Admire > Love
Chilly > Spooky > Worrisome > Scary > Dreadful

I think emojis instead of numbers might be more helpful perhaps.

There are tags for this, but more importantly, I think that intensity is part of what makes one synonym better than another.
Using your example, adore is a better synonym for love than like.

We have tags used for this purpose. Have you had a chance to review them?
