Ah, I find some words and idioms that you missed:

CORPULENT: having a large body (adjective) => Example: The corpulent politician jabbed a fat finger in the air.
ADJUST: to change or adapt to fit or match something
PULSE: the regular action of blood through arteries
THERMAL: relating to the presence of heat
FEASIBLE: able of being done (adjective)

Idioms:
At sixs and sevens: confused and perplexed
Bone of contention: the reason for disagreement

Bury the hatchet: make peace, case all hospitality
A French leave: a leave without notice
Willy-nilly: in any case
