Improve your word play

“Rutilant” is an adjective meaning “glowing or glittering with red or golden light”. It’s a beautiful word that I only know because I used AskOxford.com. The site offers helpful tips for better writing, information on the origin of words, the creation of dictionaries, word games, crossword puzzles and a jargon buster. For work on literacy this is essential. It is created by OUP and is constantly refreshed.
