All the words in Level #2 come from the root/cells: GRAD-GRESS, MOT-MOB and CAD-CID-CAS.
Do you know what each one means?
Cinny Nym gives you the answers:
accidentally, aggression, cadaver, cadence, coincidence, congressman, digress, momentous, motivate, mutiny, progressive, promotion The PROGRESSIVE congressman had a tendency to DIGRESS. The CADENCE of speech lulled some listeners to ACCIDENTALLY fall asleep. Others disliked his philosophy so much that it was no COINCIDENCE that many showed AGGRESSION towards him. In a MOMENTOUS decision party members planned to MUTINY, even if it meant not getting a PROMOTION. After all, didn't politics rather than ethics MOTIVATE him? No one, however, wanted a battle where there would be the chance of someone ending up as a CADAVER!
