Bewilderedly-puzzled or confused

Titillation-to excite

Theremin-a musical instrument with electronic tone
The theremin makes good music when you play it.

Tabloids-a newspaper whose pages usually have five columns wide
The tabloids wrote about Kim kardardashin baby.

Centrifuge-an apparatus that rotates at high speed
But a small centrifuge plant would be different to detect.

Haltingly-faltering or hesitating especially in speech
If the novel was haltingly plotted and full of foreshadowing the film has similar trouble.

Probing- to search into or examine thoroughly
Yes indeed this book is a probing  of the nature and meaning of history and memory.

Stagnant- not flowing or running as water air etc.
Family incomes are stagnant but tuition keeps going up.

Cacophony- harsh discordance of sound
When I blog on political, on the other hand there's a cacophony of voices.
