HANDY REMORSE

Cramps, eh?

ER, HYDRAMNEOS - no, that's too much fluid around the baby in the uterus

D-HORSEMANYRE - no, that's putting down the right-handed fertilyzer

REEDS HARMONY - that's a well-tuned woodwind quintet. No cause for cramps there.

ERUCTATION - no, wait a minute, that's burping, not cramping

BOURBOURYGMI - that's my stomach growling

RHEOSMANDERY

--Now we're just getting silly !

It's too late at night. I'll sleep on it some more.

Got it. Thanks.

Except that Arnie (et al.) may tell you that you left out an "o," because the word ends in "-rrhoea."

Which means it really was "MITTELSCHMERZ" all along, so I'm not up for the next word, Jo is.

(But while we wait for Jo to find this out, let's work on that Providence conundrum known as the
R I ENIGMA )

(It's your turn because "mittelschmerz" was close enough to "dysmenorrhea" to earn you the podium.)

On the assumption that SPASMODICAL was the target - let me try the next word:

* not related to the earlier "SKIRTASE" (which dissolved kilts) except in spirit

I trust you won't be irate if I identify this one as FRUITCAKE

While I was mulling over those letters a word occurred to me that I hadn't thought of for a while:

Most people can identify the seven letter-word that contains the letter U three times. (It's unusual.) My word also has three Us, but it's eight letters long and and no other vowels at all:

CUT RUFUS

USUFRUCT it is. I trust you made a lot of profit from it and haven't damaged the property any.

Rainy mops --> PARSIMONY. Is that what you give the preacher when he marries you?

A GLANCE EVIL turns into EVANGELICAL.

One would like to think the target is the opposite of the presented grouping, and therefore it's called an antigram by purists, who would reserve the term "anagram" for rearrangements which purport to describe their unscrambled selves. The classic example is BEST IN PRAYERS.

(edited to correct spelling/typo)
