Day 7: Faerie

The ways of the fae are subtle indeed. The division of our court seems to fall along different lines every time I look. Frankly, I can't keep up with it. I'm way behind schedule! And now the Faerie Queene is breathing down my neck about recordkeeping...

For some faeries, I know for sure whether they wound up in the Unseelie or Seelie Courts. I just need to figure out which courts the others belonged in. It shouldn't be tough—in fact, it should be a simple binary decision!

    Hints: Although obviously some rule is governing which court faeries belong in, all the faerie names on a given night follow some sort of rule. You could say that the Unseelie and Seelie courts just follow each given rule in different ways. The first night has to do with double letters. The second night has to do with hidden words. The third night has to do with real-world names. The fourth night has to do with first and last letters. The fifth night has to do with numbers. The sixth night has to do with colors. The seventh night has to do with hands. The eighth night has to do with a map of the United States. The ninth night has to do with abbreviations.
