A castle was a home and a fortress at once, and every feature had a purpose. A moat and drawbridge controlled who crossed, and a heavy portcullis dropped inside the gatehouse to seal it. Defenders stood behind a battlement along the rampart, firing through a narrow arrowslit, while a turret gave a wider view. The keep was the strongest tower, the last refuge if a siege broke through, and a dungeon lay below. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
