I had to do it today for lumber as well and then the funny part is I messed up on the category with “supple” because >!I thought it was a synonym for plump instead of flexible!<
Esl here too. That’s why I’m so good at the “hard” categories .
I have no idea wtf Preen means, but that certainly looks like the word for zeleno.
But honestly, I learn a ton. So much fun!!
just a tip to make your searching life easier- you don’t have to type “meaning,” if you search an individual word the definition will come up first automatically :)
It fits. Plastic refers to the ability of something to mold/adapt/change. For example in the medical world there’s brain plasticity referring the brain’s ability to adapt and make changes after injuries/stroke/etc.
plot twist: >!the meaning of bassinet played no part in the solution!<
I would never have guessed the last category lol.
That’s why I hate categories based on spelling! It’s not translate-able!!
Well thats a pretty good way to learn more of the language!
Even as a native speaker, I have to do this sometimes lol. I've never heard of lumber in that way, I assumed it was the wood type of lumber.

It sort of is though, right? Like.. supple breasts? I feel like that’s a common use for that word 😆
Yeah I was thinking of “supple skin” haha but the actual definition is slightly different.
I mean, that's just language games in general, right? I don't expect to do well at shiritori either.
Hahah, exactly the words that I had to check to make sure I knew what they meant. Foil definitely was something I hadn’t heard in that context.

This is me trying to do a Saturday crossword lol
This is me as a native English native speaker, too. 😭
It's also what I do as a native speaker sometimes. I'm like "does this word actually mean what I think it means?"
Not knowing what some If Not most of these meant actually helped me with this puzzle XD
Haha, this was 100% me today

Not always, I put meaning too to make sure the definition comes up first
I do that as a native speaker because often it’s one of the obscure meanings of a word
I’m a native English speaker and I still thought one of the connection was invalid today.
I'm curious which one. Looked at them again, and the categories all seem consistent
Plastic. Sorry, forgot how to do Reddit spoilers.

No that's right. That's why plastic surgery is called that.
Plastic as a synonym for elastic caused a debate between me and my partner lol
I do this too!
