• Describes something with a strong heat-and-light feel
• Often used as a vivid, energetic description
• Common in both everyday talk and story writing
• Not a technical term; very plain, familiar word

A common trap with today’s kind of answer is getting pulled into “nearby” describing words that fit the mood but don’t match the exact shape. Another easy mistake is burning guesses on similar-looking options that share the same general meaning. Try to keep your early guesses broad, then tighten once you have a couple of solid hits.

• It’s an adjective
• One vowel, and the last letter works as a vowel here
