I would totally suggest moving this quiz over to Language. All of the other transaddition/transdeletion quizzes like this are in that category. It fits better with the other word puzzles. You can find the other ones like the published or contributed already by searching "Word pyramid" or "transdeletion"

@giveupyet - If you are using that definition, the clue should be "(British variant)" or something to that effect; the "British spelling" most commonly used is without the 'u'.
