answers fit the numbered boxes precisely. You must follow a chain-reaction of
the answers. You also have to check the correct spelling of the word because it
is very important here. Without an appropriate spelling of the recquired word
whole chain will be affected by it. Keep in mind a silly mistake of a
misspelled word can destroy your all progress. Some time a performer becomes
