“Watch the attitude!” sounds like the sort of thing a teacher would say to a disruptive pupil, which is possibly why the first words I found were non-game ones for “teach” and “class”.
After abandoning my school-based search, I discovered CHEEKY and navigated the board hunting for synonyms.
The corner that included SAUCY and FRESH was the only section where I struggled — if I had seen these words first I would have been pretty confused.
