Hyperconundrum alphabet!

Jason seems to have all the bases covered with standard conundrum alphabets so this week I thought I'd try something a little different. 12 letter conundrums!
As usual there's one for each letter of the alphabet (apart from X - I couldnt think of one) Alas since I dont have an ODE2r let me know if any are invalid (but they're all pretty safe) I normally check them on CountMax, but obviously I couldnt with these as the max solution it will allow is 9. Anyway have fun with this variation and let me know what you think.
1 CATCHPORNILY
2 LINGERIESNAG
3 INFIVEAORTIC
4 SATANORIGINO
5 ANGRIESTDIET
6 SHITECAKETIN
7 AMMOBLISSNUT
8 LILYOZCAGOOL
9 MANNEREDGENT
10 MOTORRINGYET
11 SINNINGTREAT
12 CRAPPEDTITIE
13 ANALROUTECIA
14 HORDEDFAMELY
15 HONDODMURDER
16 SCREWGINSACK
17 SHOUTREEELAX
18 FUNSOSLEUTHY
19 SLAINHEROMUD
20 FARFARTQUEST
21 CLIENTNETBAN
22 SCROUNGEDINE
23 CUNJIRIDIOTS
24 LOTIONSOCAMP
25 ANIODINESALT
Enjoy!

16 is WISECRACKING. I thought I hade HONDODMURDER with rhododendrum, but then I realised the flower ends in -dron. Ah well.

Sorry Paul, #16 only has 1 I and 2 S's. I think you're right though and Dinos may have said the wrong letters

Oops! It should have been SCREWGINRACK. WISECRACKING is correct, and also I thought it was RHODODENDRUM

Just to finish off the alphabet completely, I have had a look in the ODE2R and there is one 12-letter word beginning with 'X'
