Malleable

When you get a new hammer, the world looks a little more malleable.

Malleable

Adjective

Pronunciation: mal-ee-uh-buhl

Mal-e-@-b@l

Mine: Mal-ee-uh-b@l

Definition: SAT: Easily shaped, adaptable

Dictionary’s: capable of being extended or shaped by beating

Mine: Able to be shaped by hammering or beating, adaptable

Synonyms: Adaptable, changeable

Sentence: Iron is hard and inflexible but if heated enough it becomes malleable and with a good hammering you can make it into just about anything.

Mnemonic: With a good mallet anything is malleable

If you have a big enough hammer you could pretty much shape any sort of thing with a good enough whack. Also mallet and malleable sound pretty similar.
