cannibaluu - racket during the pot filling stage of dinner preparation

canunibaul - breakaway sect (with no dogma, rituals, religious institutions, or scriptures) but with sea urchin gurus that are sometimes, but not always, housed in tins for drier consultations away from the ocean

unbalanciu - word describing the accidental tipping out of your guru

cunabulian - one who does not believe in getting out of bed for just any old reason (like it's morning, for instance)

cubiannual - alternative form of triannual

inunbalauc - a form of insanity - triggered by wordgames

There we go! Solved :)

Er, not quite. But we are all obviously suffering from that last one.

No hits at all on the last two letters, and only Admiral on the third.

Now, let me go see what Admiral's suggestions about Einstein are worth.*

* [edit] The first one isn't worth much; it's missing a T.

One of Anniet's words came in handy on the spelling.

The term Incunabula (also incunable or incunabulum) refers to a book, pamphlet or other document that was printed, and not handwritten, before the start of the 16th century in Europe.

The last few jumbles of mine were not hard at all. So I have looked into my evil list of words and selected this wonderful word.

Still got to work on it yet. 4 letters right. Last 3 right. 1 of them at the front is in position.

Next clue. Atomic particle

Okay, it's not -zion or -tion. Nuts, I was about to say tetrowzion.

Well, -wion does't work very well, so it's pretty much got to be -rion.

Time to reconsider all the clues.

Yeah. On the road to a solution. Definitely not that big word guess.

Message 1743796 - Posted: 21 Nov 2015, 6:39:19 UTC

I just realized that I somehow changed an I to an O along the way.

2nd, I have eliminated E and Z is highly unlikely, so that leaves either W or I.

3rd is not T or O, which leaves E I W or Z.

Wait, on further examination, 2nd has to be I.

Okay, something's wrong. I've eliminated 6 from TWINTORIZE, leaving only 4, but you said it had 5.
