Can you give a nudge?

edit: Turns out I was going about it the right way but made about 50 arithmetic errors! Once I calmed down it was easy enough

There's only seven letters, so there's only seven pairs.

How many DO seem to go together?

What????

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


#3 Sugar 5 & Spice 6 -- +1
#6 Heart 11 & Soul 13 -- +2
#10 Song 10 & Dance 5 +5 --
#11 Horse 8 & Carriage 3 +5 --
#13 Milk 24 & Cookies 12 +12 --
#16 Thunder 14 & Lightning 15 -- +1
#19 Heanen 40 & Earth 49 -- +9

Assume the differences = letter numbers gives abeelai which does not seem to anangram


Assume the pointer position indicates the letters and the pointer starts between 'm' & 'n'
& (pointer position is the reverse of the weight difference):
1L m
2L l
5R r
5R r
12L b
1L m
9L i
or mlrrbmi which also does not seem to anagram

Assume the pointer position indicates the letters and the pointer starts between 'm' & 'n':
1R n
2R o
5L i
5L i
12L b
1R n
9R v
or noiibnv which also does not seem to anagram


Clearly the choice of matches seems to be open to interpretation & requires assistance.

 		@What???:
Re check your math. Your getting a little aggressive in your subtraction.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Your matches and your idea of what you have to do are correct. Recheck your numbers and your calculations.
