Words on Wednesday: Beautiful and Ugly Words

For this week's Words on Wednesday installment, I'm looking back at this quirky-but-fun site I stumbled on a few weeks ago, and the beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) words page.

Here are a few of the most beautiful words:

asphodel
fawn
dawn
chalice
anemone
tranquil
hush

Here are a few of the ugliest words:

fructify
kumquat
quahog
crepuscular
kakkak
gargoyle
cacophonous

Looking around the web, I came across these further suggestions:

Beautiful words
