All 10 clusters

Click on the above image to enlarge.
This image has all ten individual clusters posted over the last 2 days.

PLEASE NOTE:

As has been said earlier, all words in each cluster belong to the same general idea and need not be synonyms of each other.
e.g. In the BURN - FIRE Cluster, 'Charred' means to burns to ashes, 'Inferno' is a raging fire and 'Ember' are fragments of burning charcoal/wood.
These words clearly don't have the same meaning, but they all are related to Burning or Fire
e.g. In the STRONG - MUSCULAR Cluster, 'Potent' means powerful and 'Brawny' means muscular.
Both these words mean Strong, but in very different ways and therefore are not synonyms of each other.

Some clusters contain types/ways of expressing the main idea
e.g. The BODY MOVEMENTS & SOUNDS Clusters contain different types of Body movements and sounds.
e.g. The WALKING/MOTION & LAUGH - SMILE Clusters have ways of walking and smiling

However it must be said, that in some clusters (very few), all words are synonyms of each other.
e.g. In the CRAZY Cluster, all words are actually synonyms of each other.

The purpose of these clusters is to get you acquainted with all words belonging to the same idea. Once this happens, you can infer a general meaning of words from their Main idea even if you don't know the Exact meaning
e.g. Even if you may not know the exact meaning of 'Mettlesome', knowing that it belongs to BRAVE cluster, you can deduce that it has something to with courage and being brave

That's it for now!
