mammoth – huge; gigantic; When Jane returned from vacation, she found a mammoth amount of work piled on her desk.
veer – change in direction; When you arrive at the castle, veer left around the wall
and follow the foot trail until you come to the valley.
ajar - partially open; When the police carefully examined the crime scene, they found the second-story window ajar .
cranny – a small opening in a wall or rock face; The secret message was found stuffed into a small cranny in the courtyard wall next to the church.
cower – cringe from fear; or shrink away; When Sheriff Wild Bill Hickok entered the Last Chance Saloon, the villains cowered in fear.
wither – shriveled, shrunken, dried-up; A few withered apples were all that remained on the tree after the pickers had worked their way through the orchard..
gazebo – an outdoor structure with a roof and open sides; On Sunday afternoons the family would gather together in the shade of our backyard gazebo.
enrage – to make one angry or to infuriate; What enrages my wife is when I forget to wipe m feet before coming into the house..
