I'm not sure if you fully understand "incorporate." In fact, your word "incorporative" is NOT a word. I think you may have mistaken it for "uncooperative. Please review that word.

very beneficial post for all of us who love to learn English in true spirit and with much understandings.
Sir @majes.tytyty today's challenge is too hard to solve, I will try to solve it, but I think today's words are very difficult to use in sentences.
Any how I will try me best if succeeded I will inform you with a post.
Thanks for guidance and support.

Yes, this vocab is for higher-level students, so if you find it difficult, that's because it is above your level.

However, if you just read through each post, you will eventually learn some words. Good luck!
