> super unrelated words

Did you mean to say that these were all super related, not unrelated, words?

Crenel, buttress, hearth, stables, dungeon, gargoyle, throne, flag are all words relating to castles - some like crenel, explicitly so.

Edit: and in your updated wordlist, you just swapped one castle-specific term, 'crenel', for another, 'portcullis'...

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.
