WORD OF THE DAY

crepitate

from The Mercy of Thin Air, by Ronlyn Domingue, page 5.

looked up in Webster's New World Dictionary Third College Edition

crepitate, vi. to make slight, sharp, repeated crackling sounds; crackle {from Latin, crepitare}

My sentence: She sipped from a glass of red wine as the fire crepitated and thought of better days.

What is your sentence?
