I was in the library the other day, and a strange fellow sat down next to me. We chatted for a bit about random things, and then he mentioned something about words being heavy. I was confused as we weren't talking about any subject that was particularly heavy, so I asked him to explain. He replied that some words weigh more than others. I agreed with him, and asked how he measured the weight of words. He smiled and said, "I won't tell you how, you must discover that for yourself. But, I will help you. Your first clue is that HEAVY weighs the same as LIGHT." Since I was bored, I decided to play his game, but even with the other clues he gave me, I couldn't figure it out, and now it's bugging me. Can you help me figure out how he determines the weight of words?

He came back again today to see if I had figured it out yet. I had not, so he asked if I need some more clues. I said yes, but give me a bit to think about which clues I wanted to ask. What words should I weigh? I can weigh 6 sets of words today.
