TRL w/Grammar Rock

YEE #6
Alternative. #1 is sort of a trick.

  1. I have T at my start, I have T at my end.

  2. I have T in my middle,
    And it comes through my bend.
    What am I?
  3. I have 7 letters. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7

  4. Letters 1-2-6-3-5-4-7 mean the thickness of something. Letters 7-2-4-5 mean a legendary large, hairy creature that is said to inhabit the Himalayas. Letters 7-2-3 mean something that is said to show approval, which you wouldn't be saying if you were trying to 1-2-6-7 something.  Letters 4-5-2-1 mean that everything is equal.
    What is the 7-letter word?
  5. I have no voice, yet I speak to you; I tell of all things in the world that people do.

  6. I have leaves, but I am not a tree.
    I have a spine and hinges, but I am not a man or a door;
    I have told you all, I cannot tell you more. 
    What am I?
