Wis forWhorl

A whorl is a pattern where things grow or spread outward in a circle from one central point, like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Instead of twisting up into a long coil like a spring, everything stays neat and flat in a single ring. On plants, if three or more leaves form a perfect ring around the exact same spot on the stem, that is a leaf whorl. On Animals, a "cowlick" is a swirling circle where the fur grows outward from a single point. Or on your fingers. Some people have a whorl pattern made of circular skin ridges that look like target rings.

Wis forWig

A wig is just some fake hair. You can get wigs in almost any colour, either brightly coloured ones like in the picture, or natural coloured ones that look like real hair. Some people wear wigs for fun, others wear them because they are bald and don't want other people to know. A wig that only covers part of your head is called a toupee.
