Puce :)

"Acquiesce" since I think the word has a lot of meaning when used in a way. I just loved how and when they used acquiesce!

Such a great word...and a great color!

That's a great pick, Jaden! And it's a tough spelling word!

Oh my goodness, these are all such wonderful words! I think my favorite from your list is "mustachioed" because it's not one you hear very often.

Favorite words: bawdy, nefarious, pandemonium, cavorting, miasma, flummoxed.
These are just fun to say!

Oh, I love all of these! Cassoulet is such a fun word, and definitely hard to spell. I've never eaten a cassoulet, but it sounds yummy!

For those that don't know (and I actually had to look it up), a cassoulet is "a casserole of beans baked with herbs and pork sausage and sometimes other meats." It's pronounced ka-suh-LAY.

yeah it does! I just wrote down the words that I didn't know the meaning of. When I was reading, I didn't know that there were so many, until I went back and looked.

These are all such great words, Arnav! "Nefarious" always reminds me of the movie Despicable Me. I also like the word "etiquette" a lot because it's a tricky one to spell.
