Please see what you can find in the original first, Denise, and keep track of an alternative. If it gets close to April 2021 (when the #4 challenge will post) and you still haven't found the original, you can post your substitutions here to let me know what you would like to use.

Will that work?

So, I got all kinds of forms of coruscate but not that form - will you accept coruscated? as in “The lights from the barges coruscated across the water”

I got nothing on ductile

thank you

jingles | 3483 comments Mod
Yep - I'll take that, Denise. The new round should have posted in April (it's coming I promise), so there's no use dragging this one out trying to find the original.

Is that the only substitution you need to make from this list?

Also - if you will, Denise, please make a note in your challenge that the alternative was approved :) I'm bound to forget otherwise.
