"La sauce est rouge et épaisse."

Translation: The sauce is red and thick.

You would put the colour adjective last on English

[Asimmons1941]

I agree. Thick and red is the normal order in English. This said, I am aware of the DL guideline that it is better not to change word order in translation unless necessary. What constitutes necessity?

[DrMHaywood]

Agreed, 'red and thick' sounds unnatural in this context. Might work as a political insult, but we'd better not go there :)

I agree about the word order for English.

[DominikNed3]

why won't it accept "thicc"?

[GrahamNdP]

Do you mean in English? If so, "thicc" is a slang term for a particular body type! :)

[executivewaffle]

Should there be a liaison between "et" and "épaisse"?

I remember the word from very early on Duolingo: Mon manteau est épais, mais j'ai froid. My coat is thick but I am cold.

Is order of adjectives different in French? The English version is incorrect, but perhaps they did it to mirror the French way?
