"There is an 'absence' of information in this text."

There is an 'abundance' of books in our library.

If you don’t 'affix' the sticker to the paper it will fall off.

It is 'apparent' that you didn’t do your homework.

Sometimes all of the planets are 'aligned'.

More difficult words

When writing an 'Isogram', you have to keep a close eye on the letters in the word.

When you use a 'Pangram' everything in the alphabet gets used.

When you use a 'Lipogram' in a sentence it’s like you hate a certain letter
