Yoyenamelers - skilled artisans who specialise in decorating yoyos. Formerly known as yoyoenamelers, they decided to drop the second O to reduce the risk of biting their tongues.
As I've solved it, I will move on to other matters now :)
Er, I'm afraid not. You have, however, done better with this one guess than you did with two guesses at Seti. You have two letters right.
I have to get out of here and take my aunt home, so I'll have to save your other matters for later. (In case Mike's other matters fail to put me to sleep.)

Good to hear your aunt is making progress, Daviid :) Hope all continues going well, for her, and for you!
@Chrrrrris Awwww... :) that's very sweet of you, but he's the one who taught me how, and who scaled the mountain and didn't give up on trying to understand us weirdos :) When he has some spare time, I am going to pose him that tree question we're no longer discussing ;) The answer may take some time in coming, but it'll be very interesting when it does :)
Back to the topic however...
YayMelonSeer - the only accurate weatherforecasters. Practised their art via means of banging one fruity cantaloupe against another fruity cantaloupe and then analysing the emanating mystical vibes through their teeth.
EleYeomansry - secret propaganda wing (of meteorological offices worldwide) whose sworn oath precluded all accurate forecasting at all times. Their success at swaying public opinion towards the belief that yaymelonseers were not forecasting the weather but making it, meant the latter's days were numbered.
Elemesoynary - (pronounced eh leh meh soy nirry) name of an undercover operation to sabotage melons via means of injecting them with soymilk
OrleansMyEye - (politer form of the original word coined at the time) was the final shredding of yaymelonseers' reputations, when their tampered with melons resulted in the wet washing disaster of 1874.
OreylyEnemas - the result of eating soy-milk-tampered melons
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
I know what I said - that I was going to wait till he'd finished his current project... well I couldn't. I started waxing all lyrical about my shiny new bits of gleaned knowledge almost straight away (I know - I'm hopeless) and whilst I was grabbing a breath (as one is recommended to do at the purple stage) he said: that will work very well with my twin thing, mum. Thank you. Now he's waxing lyrical about how Escher's work ties together the research he's doing into "the twin thing", and the symmetry that is involved (or not) that makes them both fascinating and a bit creepy to be with. Yes... he knows I'm one and those ARE his words :) And I've learned that he's long made sense of even our minutest mannerisms, movements stance, etc as straightforward repeated patterns, sometimes mirrored, sometimes fractured, and all manner of stuff I can't fully comprehend because my eye/brain messaging operates at a fraction of the speed of his.
But the geometry aspect of Don Coxeter has totally intrigued him!! When he was very little he came across a jigsaw puzzle in a charity shop and it was like his hands superglued themselves to the box. I can't remember the artist off-hand, but it was a famous cubist and the only way I was going to leave that shop without that puzzle was without him too :) Our bedtime reading should have prepared me for that really :) whilst his sister adored story books, the only words he would tolerate in his books, were ones that referred to colours, numbers and shapes. So why did I tell you that... because today, he is going to experiment with what possibilities he might be able to achieve, using the geometrics of origami to represent a pop-up rendition of the symmetry of twins.
*blink* ..... which has made me realise that when it comes to joined up thinking - I still have so much to learn :)))

You got off to a rather poor start here: #2 has 0 right. But then you bounced back well with more than half (7) in #3. #4 is a real breakthrough with 8 right, and all in two groups; it's also the only time you have matched the single right letter in the jumble. However, you regressed quickly, with only 2 in #5 and 1 in #6. Work on your middle.
I will also point out that there are four letters you have only gotten right once each, and one you still haven't gotten at all. Five twice and two three times (including the first guess).

[open brain]
one of these -----S------ or -------Y---- is definitely wrong, which means the other one is opposite and looking at number 3 and 4 perhaps we can surmise that that one is the latter (yes let's do that anniet) and also looking at them and knowing what we know about number 2 erm... hold on. What do we know about 2?
Oh yes!
Okaaaaay...
I am a bit confident of these:
ELE--------- and this ----------RY, perhaps even this: --------NARY
so if I put them together like this -> ELE-----NARY then add my first 2 thoughts like this:

Well... according to ye olde internete of traditionale wordes and traditionale wordes onley it has nothing to do with elephants nor pointy-up hair!
"An adjective that describes things that are related to charitable giving, especially when you're talking about assistance to the poor." So that means ELEEMOSYNARY would be right.
