I tried getting synonyms for "earned" and got back
[ 'gain', 'take_in', 'clear', 'make', 'earn', 'realize', 'realise', 'pull_in', 'bring_in' ] and [ 'earn', 'garner' ]

However, Princeton's online wordnet, http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ returns the above arrays of words, along with the word "win", in each array

This is probably a dictionary version issue. I am preparing a PR that might solve this. See issue #4.

wordpos def -f -j earn

"synonyms":["earn","garner","win"]
"synonyms":["gain","take_in","clear","make","earn","realize","realise","pull_in","bring_in"]

These are exactly the same as those from online version:
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=earn

Also -- WNdb was updated for WN3.1 and the results are again the same.
