Vocabulary is something I do want to improve, I'd like to occasionally incorporate bigger words into my everyday conversations
Yeah, it's nice to challenge yourself to use sophisticated words in your conversations. It forces your brain to think, and you're learning how to deal with words that are far more nuanced than others, have multiple meanings, and use complex idioms. Which C2 words were you surprised by, if any?

Well, I'm glad to hear that I created something that gave you a nostalgic flashback to an old website. FreeRice sounds very familiar. Is that website still around, or is it obsolete? What words were you surprised by, in particular?
