That just leaves BALMYRATION which must begin with A. I'll take a wild stab at AMBILANTORY?

Actually, I have a GCSE business studies exam coming up and PENETRATION pricing is business terminology I need to familiarise myself with. Therefore, that is why I have added it and not due to some of my "warped" thoughts

Another proper hyperconundrum alphabet will appear here this afternoon

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:12 pm

Here is the first proper hyperconundrum by myself for forumites to get their teeth stuck into

. There are 23 twelve letter conundrums to solve and apologies if these have been done by anyone before. There is no conundrum for X, Y and Z - for obvious reasons

N.B. Forumites are only permitted to solve a maximum of 5 hyperconundrums as this is not an individual effort and people are working to solve them as a team. Right Dinos The quota ban will be lifted on my say-so .

1. MALEMELODIES
2. AAEIOOOOPMNT
3. BRIGHTENAKAT
4. FAIREVICTION
5. NAGEROTICISM
6. BELUNYQUESTS
7. RAMPEDTALENT
8. JOINCURTAILS
9. OMOYLAUGHTER
10. ARAYMETAPHOR
11. FLABERUPTION
12. GGGPROFALINE
13. SOOCOMPLAINT
14. FLATENWUSSES
15. PINAFORELOSS
16. PROMINENTAGI
17. TTTOOEEESSRN
18. HOTGOLDFIELD
19. TTTIIINNSOUR
20. GREEKTRADINN
21. UTEXARSEHOLE
22. OBLATESEQUIN
23. GETEXCARAVAN

The next "hyperconundrum" alphabet will be posted as soon as this one is complete with 23 thirteen letter words waiting to be solved next

No cheats please

Joseph Bolas · Post by **Joseph Bolas** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 3:18 pm

I think the quota should only be 3, that way at least 8 people can partake

All good so far. Just one to find which is very, very difficult IMO. I'm going to give the forum 2 clues

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:49 am

Clue 1 - it ends in two vowels
Clue 2 - it is the pluralised version of the name of a muscle

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 10:22 am

This is proving to be a difficult one to crack

NAGEROTICISM

Clue 3 ; this muscle appears in the leg

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 10:17 am

The answer to the last one...
NAGEROTICISM

is GASTROCNEMII (pl. of the leg muscle Gastrocnemius)

The next 13 letter alphabet will be revealed very shortly

JasonCullen · Post by **JasonCullen** » Sat Jun 14, 2008 10:25 am
