Word mash

[Gomez]

I've taken a bunch of words and tinkered with them just a little bit to give a bunch of different words, which are defined below. Sometimes I've added a letter, sometimes I've taken one away, and sometimes I've just changed one. Your task is to guess the 'new' words from the definitions. If you get stuck, you can check your fictionary (ba-dum-bum!).

Example: Ginhaler: Someone who gets drunk as quickly as possible.

Okay, here are the proper ones. I've only done a few 'cos it's late. Feel free to add your own.

1) The irrational terror of being knocked down by an inexperienced limo driver. - Solved - Lepton

2) A condition which leaves the sufferer with no friends and absolutely no desire for any. (9) Improved on by Oscar

3) Artificially grown wheat based Italian food. (10)

4) A circumference of ursine creatures. (8) Solved - Trojan Horse

5) First floor brothel entrance. (6)

Correct answers so far (invizzed):

1) Chauffear
2) Palitosis/Pallergy
3)
4) Bearring
5)

1. Chauffear?

[groza528]

Ah yes, that's much better than Awrecknophobia

[Jack_Ian]

2) Solow?

I was thinking hermit crabs for #2 but that doesn't change any letters.

[Zag]

#4 I was thinking bearder, but that would be adding a letter and changing another. However, if you change the definition to be "an ursine creature who pays to live in your house" then it works. (border vs. boarder)

[Quailman]

4: Bearimeter?

[Gomez]

Good guesses, but only one correct so far. I've added the word lengths to the OP to help out.

[Trojan Horse]

4: Bearring?

[ralphmerridew]

It's one letter off from "bearing". The word for circumference is "ring".

[Oscar]

2. palitosis?

[Gomez]

Nice one Oscar! The actual answer was Pallergy but I prefer yours so you get the point

[ralphmerridew]

Usually when somebody runs a puzzle like this, invis answers are posted whenever an item is solved.

[ralphmerridew]

For #3, I've been try words like hydrotonic, but can't find any I like.

[Trojan Horse]

For #3, my train-of-thought is on things like spamghetti.

[Quailman]

I thought of that, and also some play on tubettini

[Gomez]

'Artificially grown' is the key to that one.

[Lepton*]

Crossbread came to mind.

I'll give you a hint. The first letter for 3 is P and the first letter for 5 is S.

[Gomez*]

Some more hints. Invizzed because they're pretty blatant


3) P _ S _R _ T _ R _

5) S _ N _ O _

Ah, hang on. I think I've found the problem here. What you Americans call the first floor, we limeys call the ground floor, and what you call the second floor, we call the first floor, and so on. Forgot about that. The clue should read: Second floor brothel entrance, to which the answer 'Sindow' (sinful + window) should hopefully make more sense

[Quailman]

That's it, except you spell it ground, but we spell it grond.
