pilot has 13 distinct synonyms spread across 7 of its 8 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a person qualified to guide ships through difficult waters going into or out of a harbor
a program exemplifying a contemplated series; intended to attract sponsors
small auxiliary gas burner that provides a flame to ignite a larger gas burner
