hmmmmmmm... yes....

Sphianaudlyoon - little known relative of the duck-billed platypus. Distinguishable from it's cousins by its tendency to unleash haunting and melodious wailing at cane toads.

Spindlyhaanoonu - a species of self-plucking African chicken, that was bred originally to reduce the wage costs associated with preparing fowl prior to marketing their bits for noshing on. Instead, wage costs soared and are still rising steeply - due to the fact that the birds are utterly uncatchable.

Diaphanousloynn - a somewhat flimsy nether region garment that leaves little to the imagination

HypnosidalOunna - Figures on how common this unfortunate affliction is are sketchy as it only becomes evident during a lighthearted "look deep into my eyes... you are getting sleepy..." situation, whereupon the person they're saying it to - kind of does in a sort of permanent way :(

Happy now? :)

Oh and multiple belated congratulations for all the wins that have been going on in here since I last popped in :)

oh...and did we say we like humans too? Well we do :)

Annie and Admiral each have one that is sooooo right and yet still completely wrong.

0 2 1 3 1 1 0 3 1

2/3 of the letters are right at least once among the nine guesses.

I'm not going to spend any time wondering how the Admiral managed to get nylon and non....ly and I couldn't get past loynn. No. I'm not. And no one can make me...

Well done though :)

I had to make a word out of the last 5 letters. Then David said we had a word in common. I looked at what we had and I had a brain flash. The l you had on the end of the word was a good clue. Then it happened. He added a prefix and suffix to the word.

Now the new jumble is: JuanTrejo

Unojetjar - species of bird that it is advisable not to confuse with the nightjar, due its unsavoury erm... emitting habits

OranjeJut - (pronounced orrrrunyeryut) what cats do when they sniff orange peel

Jujanoret - jerky dance involving coming to a sudden, stomping stop at random intervals

Jejanutor - interesting variant spelling more commonly seen in the form: the janitor

There we go... :)

Never mind the never mind. In my barely-awake condition, I thought I had duplicated one of Annie's.

[edit]

Investigating jejunator a bit, I find that jejune is a word and jejuno- is a medical prefix.

[edit 2]

What happened is I wrote down Annie's wrong.

A bit more detail.

There are six letters that are right, two twice. The breakdown of correct vowels and consonants is even, both total and doubles. The guess with the most has a pair adjacent.
