Scrambled Words Ending in “U”

How many of these words that end in “u” can you unscramble in 15 minutes?

This quiz contains varying numbers of 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10- and 11-letter words, in contrast to my other “Scrambled Words Ending in …” quizzes. Further, because there are so few commonly-used English words that end in “u”, this quiz contains 31, rather than the usual 36, words. For that reason, and because the quiz has so many 4-letter words, the timer has been reduced from 20 minutes to 15.

As is usual, the first letter of each word is capitalized in the scrambled version to make the quiz a bit easier.

Note: If you think you don’t see an uppercase letter in a scrambled word, look again: what appears to be a lowercase “L” is probably an uppercase “I.”
