0 hugemonkey Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hovercraft? That's the one. hunchback? Yep, that's it. scorekeeper? A little bit of a stretch maybe. Not what I intended, but a valid answer. bonus points. winmaster = goaltender, goalkeeper? These are also worthy of bonus points. I was thinking in a different direction.

Question
hugemonkey
Similar to the
1. winmaster
2. pairarrest
3. seedwafer
4. normcrownfield
5. breifspeak
6. recordwriggle
7. toolscoffer
8. hangart
9. sticksdig
10. burninground
11. hinthind
12. signfit
The answer must be a true compound word.
The words might be broken in unconventional ways in order to come up with the clue.
For example dadpensicker or dad/pen/sicker could be a clue for pa/ink/iller painkiller.
There are no other puns or POW type clues, just synonyms of the indivudual parts.
Of course I am using definitions that don't necessarily agree with the meaning intended in the original compound word.
