Do you read and read all through, without having an encounter with writing potholes, the difficult words? Well, maybe it could be some social media random posts that don’t go beyond 5- 6 sentences.
Difficult words are ubiquitous and inevitable in writing. Therefore, everyone has to adapt to them.
To lessen the reading stress of checking the dictionary from time to time, I have compiled 50 words I chose and reasoned to be difficult which you may come across anytime soon. Here are the:
