# TXSpellChecker.CreateSynonyms Method

> Returns groups of synonyms that represent equivalent expressions for a specific text. The first implementation uses selected synonym lists of the SynonymListCollection at TXSpellChecker.SynonymLists. The second implementation uses selected synonym lists of the TXSpellChecker.SynonymLists collection and the default synonym lists folder where the synonym list's language equals to the defined language parameter. The last overload creates synonym groups for a specific synonym list. Only those synonym lists are used whose SynonymList.IsCreateSynonymsEnabled properties are set to true.

The first implementation uses [selected](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/synonymlist/isselectedasdefault-property/llms-full.txt) [synonym lists](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/synonymlist/llms-full.txt) of the [SynonymListCollection](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/synonymlistcollection/llms-full.txt) at [TXSpellChecker.SynonymLists](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/txspellchecker/synonymlists-property/llms-full.txt). The second implementation uses selected synonym lists of the TXSpellChecker.SynonymLists collection and the default synonym lists folder where the [synonym list's language](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/synonymlist/language-property/llms-full.txt) equals to the defined language parameter.
