Some amusing conundrums
I was flicking through the list of Apterous's list of "deleted conundrums" (i.e. valid conundrums which I felt were just too obscure to include). I found a handful of words which, although definitely too nasty to use in the game, seemed also too nice to ignore completely, so I thought I'd share 10 of the best with you. I'll pose them in puzzle form first of all, so feel free to use guesswork/Google/gigantic vocabularies to have a stab. I'll post the answers later on.

Re: Some amusing conundrums
I'm not sure of the answers, but these could come in very handy (when I've worked out them out) for when playing Goatdown ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
Thank you for posting these Charlie![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
EDIT: Actually if you could please post all the other obscure conundrums you have not included in Apterous Charlie, that would be awesome too![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Some amusing conundrums
Okay, answer time!
1. AACCDHORY -> ADHOCRACY (best portmanteau ever)
2. ACCEHNMMU -> MUMCHANCE (silent; wonder if this is related to keeping mum?)
3. ACIILMQTU -> QUITCLAIM (legal term; liked it for the WAREHOU factor)
4. AEEHHLLOO -> AHOLEHOLE (the hole in one's anus, perhaps? Talking of which, well done Mr Corby)
5. AEGOOSWYZ -> WAYZGOOSE (not l33t for "where's goose?" but, well, Wikipedia puts it better than I can.)
6. CGHIMMMOU -> MUMMICHOG (I really wanted this to be the term for a mummy hedgehog, but it's actually a fish)
7. DEEKKNSUW -> SKUNKWEED (well done Frank)
8. GLLNOOOOS -> SONGOLOLO
9. HEEELQRTU -> THREEQUEL
10. KHMMNORRU -> KRUMMHORN (maybe recognisable as crumhorn; a musical instrument)
11. BDEORSSTU -> SODBUSTER
12. DEGHKLNOU -> GUNKHOLED (not to be confused with SUCKHOLED, which is also valid)
13. BCENOOPPR -> COPPERNOB
14. EEHIKOPST -> SHITEPOKE
