The Royal Mint - Great British Treasure Hunt

I thought the first 3 answers to the riddles were :

1).In suits they stand, on squares they sit,
On notes they lie, with clubs they hit.

CARDS

2).Inside a reef I can be found,
I’m like a bird, my chains unbound.

PEARL

3).In foreign tongue I’m to be mixed,
Within my veins, a flame is fixed.

SPICE or SAFFRON?

I don't know what to key in next for a password to part 2??

Something to do with the centre of gravity?

I don't seem to able to download my data from the Royal Mint site. This is most frustrating as I can't open all the sections I have completed, nor start on section 5. Obviously, some of you have managed it. Can't say I'm too happy about this. Only trying in lunch break. Soon have to go back to work and get further behind!

Me too! Not happy.

I’m having Major issues. It’s confusing the first key takes you to website ten you put in the answer to Centre of Gravity which takes you to a blank page! Gonna give up and try later. Don’t forget it’s not first to finish. It’s gonna be a prize draw with all the people who get through.

Since the issue with level 5 first thing this morning the answer section to Part 1 appears to have changed from a 7 letter codex graphic to a free form text box. Not sure if that means part 1 is actually a 7 letter word or whether that may now be part 2.

The 3 words are proving a challenge but I've managed to solve the QR code part which seems to suggest what the 3 words are needed for, possibly a location.

Clue 1 I think is CARDS or something related

Clue 2 FREE seems a good call

Clue 3 feels like thermometer related

EDIT: clue 3 is not thermometer related. Also The 7 letter codex is for part 2 not part 1.

I can’t even work out the centre of gravity

There are 7 letters in the word…

Don't overthink it. It's a seven letter word, what's at its literal centre?

It's been suggested over on reddit that the picture from one of the TV mags that I posted a few pages back is helpful in solving this part. Or that was my reading of what I was told.

EDIT: This image that depicts three partial words that look like free, kings & tree
