#127. What one same five-letter word can precede 'cost' 'penalty' 'asset' 'point' 'focus' 'oil' and 'wing' to make seven terms used in widely different contexts ?
Going round in circles with this one, my last I'm glad to say. Thanks for any suggestions or help.

That sounds very promising, thank you very much, it would appear that what was needed was a fresh approach to the question and you certainly have done that.
