I find it very hard to learn adjective from context so i really like to be able to lookup some words that for a native speaker probably is not problematic. I have also notice that you guess wrong often. I long thought that bemused was similar to amused in meaning. I also thought that nonplussed meant not satisfied when it actually means perplexed.
Some other words I have looked up (I wrote them down): obnubilate, mendacious, opossum, akimbo, slovely, inchoate, confabulation, pulchritude, persiflage, parturient, sycophancy, deciduous, phatic, marigold, felching, vicarious, cuckold...
I have not the faintest idea if these are word every native speaker know or not.
