perhaps the /s was needed. I swapped out crenel for portcullis because I figured more people would know what it is (crenel was an eliminated word) Also moved flag to the front because I noticed it was always eliminated and added castle to the end because the 10th word was always eliminated and it's funny to have castle eliminated from a list of parts of a castle.
My words:
Cannabinol, idempotence, median, mitosis, infrared, soufflé, synonym, genomics, tortoiseshell, crankshaft.
