Sweep the body tissue by tissue, then switch to mechanisms: heat, cold, pressure, electricity, chemicals and sudden force each produce their own named damage. Any recognised injury category counts, from trivial to catastrophic. Symptoms alone, bare body parts and diseases that are not injuries do not.

How to approach it

Work from anatomy outward. List the tissues a body is built from, then attach a failure mode to each: skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, nerve, vessel. That gives a first wave of safe general answers. Next, shift from structure to mechanism, because the scoring list is heavy with causes: heat, cold, pressure change, electricity, chemicals, friction, repetitive motion, and force delivered at an angle or through a small point. A third pass should reach into clinical and occupational vocabularies, where injuries take names from how they happened rather than how bad they look. Keep entries short and noun-like, and skip anything that is really a symptom, a body part, or a diagnosis rather than an injury.

Get a hint

Begin with anatomy: skin, muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, nerve and vessel each have at least one characteristic way of failing under force.

A little more

Then move from structure to cause, since heat, cold, pressure shifts, current, corrosives, friction and repetition all appear in medical dictionaries as injury categories.

One step further

The deepest layer is specialist vocabulary from emergency medicine and occupational health, where the label often records the mechanism or the pattern of damage rather than its severity.

Why these answers count

The reveal is dominated by a middle tier: fifty-four entries at 85 points and fifty-eight at 60, against a single maximum. That shape tells you the list is broad rather than fussy, and that specificity is where the extra points live. General families — a bite, bleeding or blunt force trauma — landed at the 60-point floor alongside amputation, because almost everyone reaches for them. One step more precise, and the score jumps: naming the fracture pattern (comminuted, oblique, transverse, impacted, all 85) or the exact mechanism of a wound (chop, gore, perforating, sharp force, 85 each) shows you know the vocabulary without guessing wildly. The lone 100 went to a contrecoup injury, a term almost nobody produces, which is the whole principle: rarity pays, but only when the term is still a real injury label rather than an invented one. Guesses that drift into symptoms or anatomy earn nothing.
