Try and find the words

Each line refers to one word - find them!

26. Who needs a best friend?
26. all powerful.
63. Judging books now, are we?
73. I point and squeak!
94. Clay-making magic!

Hint:

1. The puzzle is not coming from a crossword.
2. The words are not connected to each other. I.e. There are 6 separate puzzles...

• This sounds like a crossword type puzzle, so are there lengths of words available? Feb 28 '16 at 13:40
• ummm ... not really but sort of :-) :-) (it's part of the puzzle- when you get it you'll know ;-)

• are the numbers relevant? Can I be confident my 6 words are correct because of some relationship to the numbers? Feb 28 '16 at 19:21
• @KateGregory yes exactly

• I like the way one clue is fairly easy, two other clues help deduce the system, and the last clue is truly mysterious. I even tried "pygmalion"

​26. Who needs a best friend?
​26. all powerful.

dog (or its reverse)

Almost there:

             D    O   G
4 + 15 + 7  =  26. Who needs a best friend?.

G    O   D
7 + 15 + 4  =  26. all powerful.

A    P    P    L   E
1 + 16 + 16 + 12 + 5  =  50. Doctors lose business.

C    O    V   E    R
3 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 18  =  63. Judging books now, are we?

M    O    U    S   E
13 + 15 + 21 + 19 + 5  =  73. I point and squeak!


So close:

  P    O    R   C   E    L   A    I    N
16 + 15 + 18 + 3 + 5 + 12 + 1 +  9 + 14  =  93. Clay-making magic!

C   A    S    S   I    U    S
3 + 1 + 19 + 19 + 9 + 21 + 19  =  91. Clay-making magic!

R    O    W    L   I    N   G
18 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 9 + 14 + 7  =  98. Clay-making magic!


Thank you, @IvanBarreto and @manshu!:

    P    O    T    T   E    R
16 + 15 + 20 + 20 + 5 + 18   =  94. Clay-making magic!


• Last one would've been thought of by a Potter. Feb 28 '16 at 20:33
• Why didn't you used the word "Potter" in your edit? Feb 28 '16 at 21:19
• Thanks, @manshu, It was one of the first words i tried but got the math wrong. Sheesh.

Not sure about the rest, but the fifth line is

mouse, referring to the compute mouse and the animal.

The others may be similar.

• ok. good start! p.s. it's not coming from any crossword...

A wild shot in the dark.

Are the 3rd and 4th:

Under - as in: no more bills after the patient goes under.
Cover - as in: don't judge a book by it's cover.

In which case the first could be:

Cat - since we have undercover mouse: a cat's toy.
We also have find it in the title...

Can't fit the rest so probably barking up the wrong tree.
