The term 'TYPE OF CORD' can refer to three different types of cords: SPINAL (6 letters), Bungee (6 letters), and RIP (3 letters). SPINAL cords are the bundle of nerves that run from the brain down the back, connecting the brain to the rest of the body. Bungee cords are elastic cords made of rubber, usually used to secure items or for recreational activities. Finally, RIP cords are cords used to activate a device, such as a parachute, by pulling on the cord.
