Just thought you’d like to know a couple of words from the target puzzle a couple of days ago. Obviously, they’re words you’d want to get on top of, practice using them – in particular, you could try using both in one sentence, as in:
“the cadi sat back and burped his pleasure [as is the custom] after the fine meal of dace.” This begs the question how a village magistrate in Turkey would be eating european fish – and of course, whether that fish is edible. But therein lies the makings of a story in itself.
Of course, you’d have to think up your own sentence…
