Building on the theme in Randall Hartman's Friday CrosSynergy puzzle, our contest participants concocted the following clues leading to an answer in which one letter I has been switched to a U. (Example from Randall's puzzle: something along the lines of "Magazine article about Hef? HUGH PROFILE.) Put them all together and they make a nice word game, don't they?

As a solving aid, the answers will be in alphabetical order. (You can also reveal the answers by highlighting the space after each clue with your mouse.) After solving, please leave a comment and vote for your favorite entry.

If you can't stand the suspense and want to know who wrote each clue, you can read the original entries among the comments on the post from Friday, July 15.
