Have fun

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

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

Got another word #11 - KALEIDOSCOPE

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

3. IDONTLINGUAL longitudinal
13. GGALLANTLIFE flagellating
14. NOMGERWANGIR warmongering
15. ROADSTERTECH orchestrated
20. IDETERMINATE intermediate

4. Veterinarian

5. Sardines on Toast

6. Miss Argentina

7. Amey Deshpande

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

Is #9 UPHOLSTERING?

Yep

#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...

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.

That leaves: BDGNPRT

REASSIGNMENT and NECROPHILIAC. I cheatily looked up number 8 and it's a bit evil.

REASSIGNMENT and NECROPHILIAC. I cheatily looked up number 8 and it's a bit evil.

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

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

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).

David O'Donnell wrote:Edit: Had you gave the hint as physics then my guess would have been PARAMAGNETIC.

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

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.

1. PICKLEANATOM
2. HANDIESTREED

Good luck

1 KLEPTOMANIAC
2. DIERDRE RASHID?

So far I can only work out 1

20. JEOPARDISING

The result of a boring ICT lesson I'm never going to pass:

2. Disheartened
3. Repercussion
6. Undiscovered
10. Sledgehammer
16. Holidaymaker
22. Fractionated

7 Breaststroke
8 Idiosyncrasy
12 Weightlifter
17 Transvestite
18 Monosyllabic (?) Wrong letters for Symbolicmoan, but its a guess.
21 Volification

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.

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

EDIT: I also think 13 is LEXICOGRAPHY.

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

All right except for PETIOLOGICAL. Well done so far Damian Allyssa Joseph and Jono. 5 left: E, G, O, P and Q.

GEOPOLITICAL and ANTIQUARIAN but at a guess HELICOPTERAL?

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.

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

dinos_the_chemist wrote: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

Now why include a word in a conundrum quiz that no-one is bound to get .

Are there any more hints you can give us?

dinos_the_chemist wrote: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

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.

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!

Nice clue Dinos

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

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

Enjoy and I hope they are not too hard

Yay there's a proper quota .

I can spot 3

17. BISEXUALITY
19. LIGHTWEIGHT
23. JEOPARDISED

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

Edit: But we did both spot BISEXUALITY Fancy a bum?

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!

David O'Donnell wrote:Bastard Those were three of my five, gotta get another three now!

Edit: But we did both spot BISEXUALITY Fancy a bum?

I think JaCu is trying to tell us something David. Words that have appeared in previous alphabets, have included BAREBACK and HARDCORE .

Consider show pony Dinos tamed My five are INOCULATION THUNDERBIRD ENJAMBEMENT HAIRSTYLIST and SPOKESWOMAN which I've added to DaDo and Joseph's efforts (although for the record I got all but 3 )

Also you do know hyperconundrums are 12 letters long right? Or is it that you're just not as good at making them as me

No I didn't know actually . Oh well, I guess your the better hyperconundrum quizmaster than I am

HAUGHTINESS

This is incorrect. Double check it please David . Dinos has provided the correct answer though

Leave me alone Joseph cos I'm going through stages in the hormonal system . I best cross out GLORYHOLE and MASOCHISM for my next conundrum alphabet to avoid further accusations

You know I am only messing with you JaCu .

Besides, there have been no signs of FOREPLAY yet .

I think Mr. O' Donnell has other ideas . Don't worry Joseph I knew you were only messing

I think so .

I was about to ask what "meesing" was, but you quickly changed it to messing .

Come on people . Some of these are quite simple and yet they still remain unsolved. If they are not solved by tomorrow afternoon, I will have to lift the quota ban which means Dinos has the chance to be the show pony

16. OBSERVATORY
21. MISCARRIAGE

That makes up my 5

That should leave:

4. ENTIREWHACK
6. BALMYRATION
10. ENUDEREVOLT
11. ECLICKSTAND
15. PIFTGRINNER
18. NEATPROTEIN
20. EMOTEGARLIC

Well done Joseph . Your five attempts are correct.

Keep them coming people - except those who have done 5 already

jasoncullen wrote:Keep them coming people - except those who have done 5 already

I guess, otherwise might get SPANKED, FINGERED, CASTRATED or WHIPLASHED, (depending on the length of word next time ).

jasoncullen wrote:If they are not solved by tomorrow afternoon, I will have to lift the quota ban which means Dinos has the chance to be the show pony

Its officially Sunday afternoon, am I allowed out of the stables yet? I'll start at a trot before galloping off and solving them all.

I thought you said you could do all but three of them Dinos ? Feel free to do the rest tomorrow afternoon if you want

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

The quota ban has been officially lifted (except for Dinos for now )

jasoncullen wrote:I thought you said you could do all but three of them Dinos?

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.

jasoncullen wrote:The quota ban has been officially lifted (except for Dinos for now )

I will just add two more, like Dinos, to give someone else a go:

KITCHENWARE and CANDLESTICK.

GEOMETRICAL
PENETRATION You're right Joseph he only has one thing on his mind
