Capricorn Studio Favorite Word List

Holly C. (United States of America)
My daughter (age 14) and I started collecting words a few years ago. We have many words still in our head or on a list on paper; we will add all those words soon. We have words that are not necessarily unusual, rare, or just plain weird, but words that are interesting in how they sound or "feel" to us. Here are some of our favorite words.
