I can only see 1 word and that is #20 - INTERMEDIATE.

Jon Corby · Post by **Jon Corby** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:13 am

I did 1 QUINTESSENCE and 2 CHEMOTHERAPY and then got bored. Sorry.

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 10:40 am

Got another word #11 - KALEIDOSCOPE

Jon O'Neill · Post by **Jon O'Neill** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 12:31 pm

Not sure if these are right because I can't be bothered to check each letter...

3. IDONTLINGUAL longitudinal
13. GGALLANTLIFE flagellating

6. Miss Argentina

7. Amey Deshpande

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 5:59 pm

All right so far (except for Amey Deshpande lol). Unfortunately I made a typo. Should be IPUSHGRANIDA.

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 6:32 pm

#12 - SIMULTANEOUS

Could #21 be AUTHENTICIST?

Joseph Bolas wrote:Could #21 be AUTHENTICIST?

I think #21 is ENTHUSIASTIC
(Edit: No I don't, I saw a second S...)

#10 - ANAESTHETIST ? (Jono corrected my spelling)
#16 - HYPOTHETICAL
#22 - MELODRAMATIC

I could do the rest, but I'm not greedy...

Martin Gardner · Post by **Martin Gardner** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 11:12 pm

Actually I got 0 out of 22. I finally looked up the answers to the remaining ones and some of them are f*cking hard. As pointed out in a previous post, I'm actually rubbish at anagramming all I can do is remember words I've already seen.

Out of interest, I anagrammed ACEPTARMIGAN too and if anyone gets that, then very well done.

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 9:15 am

To be honest I didnt think ACEPTARMIGAN was that tricky when I made it, but then I am a chemist

Its not some obscure compound name, but if anyone (that hasn't already cheated) wants a clue: Its an easy 8 letter word with a four letter prefix

David O'Donnell · Post by **David O'Donnell** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 2:03 pm

Purely on the basis that it's a chemistry term I'll have a guess with MANGAPICRATE^.

Edit: Had you gave the hint as physics then my guess would have been PARAMAGNETIC (or ornithology, ACE-PTARMIGAN).

Well done David, I thought that word was quite tough to solve.

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Mon May 12, 2008 12:18 pm

Heres a third hyperconundrum alphabet for your pleasure, following on from No#2. I realise the first alphabet is rather unnecessarily in a separate thread so feel free to merge them together. NB there are no conundrums for XYZ.

21 Volification

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:23 pm

Sorry should have been SYMBOLICLOAN. MONOSYLLABIC is correct. VOLIFICATION is close Damian but you've picked up a phantom letter. All the others are top notch. 13 down 10 to go.

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:32 pm

I think 11 is ANTHROPOLOGY, if I have spelt that right?

EDIT: I also think 13 is LEXICOGRAPHY.

Jon O'Neill · Post by **Jon O'Neill** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:39 pm

4. ICALLITGOOPE petiological?
9. LATECOMERNUN nomenclature
19. AGREWINACULT caterwauling
21. OICIVILFAINT vilification

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:44 pm

David O'Donnell wrote: HELICOPTERAL?

That really made me chuckle for some reason

Also, you haven't even got the right letters.

I would say OBSTETRICIAN, QUARANTINING and guess at ELECTROPHILE, don't know about the last one.

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Mon May 12, 2008 9:14 pm

Correct Paul. David are you drunk? Those aren't even the right letters! That just leaves the P conundrum. As I said before I'll be very impressed by whoever gets it

Are there any more hints you can give us?

Hey! Gimme a break, at least I got GEOPOLITICAL

... didn't I?

I have been processing antiquarian books these last few days so I think I just have that word in my head a lot and as for HELICOPTERAL^ I was not only drunk but I had taken crack.

Dinos Sfyris · Post by **Dinos Sfyris** » Tue May 13, 2008 8:22 am

Sorry David, perhaps I was a little harsh. You did get GEOPOLITICAL *pats back* Well done

As for a clue about EMPORIUMDAYS: Its elementary my dear Joseph

PRASEODYMIUM, thanks for the clue!

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Tue May 13, 2008 2:28 pm

Nice clue Dinos

I don't know about anyone else, but I would never have got it without looking at a periodic table

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:22 pm

I thought I would do one of these beasts for a change. Here are 23 eleven letter words for the forum to solve

. Apologies if these have been done before on the forum or have been done at a Countdown competition. There are no anagrams for the letters X,Y and Z.

N.B. As soon as this alphabet is finished, another hyperconundrum alphabet will be revealed shortly afterwards. So time is of the essence .

Also, I don't want any show ponies so please restrain yourself to no more than 5 conundrums maximum until the quota has been lifted

1. UANOINTLOCI
2. NURDEDBIRTH
3. MMNNEEEJBAT
4. ENTIREWHACK
5. RADOMEDBLOW
6. BALMYRATION
7. SHITTYLIARS
8. TRACKBARQUE
9. SPANKMEOOWS
10. ENUDEREVOLT
11. ECLICKSTAND
12. GUNSHANTIES
13. ODDFUNDBUME
14. RAFTERGERIE
15. PIFTGRINNER
16. TRYOVERSOBA
17. XTABUEISYLI
18. NEATPROTEIN
19. TELTHIGHWIG
20. EMOTEGARLIC
21. AIRGRIMACES
22. CAYNUTRIENT
23. DEODARJIPES

Enjoy and I hope they are not too hard

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:33 pm

Yay there's a proper quota

I can spot 3

17. BISEXUALITY

David O'Donnell · Post by **David O'Donnell** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:38 pm

Those were three of my five, gotta get another three now!

Edit: But we did both spot BISEXUALITY

Fancy a bum?

David O'Donnell · Post by **David O'Donnell** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:44 pm

I have five now after Joseph stole my initial thunder

HAUGHTINESS
UNCERTAINTY
QUARTERBACK
INOCULATION
WARMBLOODED.

Is it wrong of me to point out that conundrums are 12 letters long in hypercountdown?

Edit: HAUGHTINESS appears to be balls - bugger! - It's NAUGHTINESS!

Come on people

16. OBSERVATORY

That should leave:

20. EMOTEGARLIC

I thought you said you could do all but three of them Dinos

So anyone who wants to offer some suggestions do it rapidly before Dinos steals most of the credit.

I can. In fact I've now got them all except BALMYRATION. I was showing some self-restraint and thought I'd leave a couple for others to solve, esp Doddy and Joseph if they had a few more.
