METAL ELEMENTS

GOLD

LEAD

MERCURY

TIN

When you win, put some GOLD in that crown to make it shine, but probably avoid these other metals. LEAD certainly doesn't make a good crown, and MERCURY and TIN won't help either.

They are they can all be metalbut that doesn't make them equally good for making brilliant headwear. Save the GOLD for your crowns and use the rest for other purposes. MERCURY would not be stable anyway.

MATTRESS DIMENSIONS

KING

QUEEN

TWIN

It is very interesting to me that the KARBAK, BUTTERFLY and BUTCHER are very close in spelling and are also different types of knives. Basic words also come from very different roots, that is It is quite interesting how the knives ended up with these names.

BOWIE is slightly different and doesn't have a similar spelling, but by this point you've only picked the last four words anyway. I hope so, if not, the similar spelling and all starting with B might lead you to guess them anyway.
