Sorry, I guess I wrote that one goofy. Sometimes I do that!
In the orange graphic - the color words are regular words.

For example - honey.
You could use The Deep End (Honey, #1) by Kristen Ashley . Honey is on the cover.
OR Milk and Honey - Honey is in the title.

Knife is not on the list. Sorry.
