lol can't believe I correctly guessed "Snow" based solely on the fact that s/he is Canadian.

The "monk" clue is a bit strange - monks are by no means the only people who sing Gregorian chant (the best answer is probably cantor, although that has too many letters obviously). I was quite confused what answer the quiz wanted for a while - maybe a better clue might reference monastic musical liturgy or something.

Can "disk" be accepted for "disc"? It doesn't fit the chain, but I've seen it spelled "disk" often and it might help other people who spell it that way.

"It doesn't fit the chain." I think you answered your own question.
