I felt that 'AIR' plus the 'C' from 'CAIRN' (plus the fact that 'AIR' couldn't be in the middle any more) should've made me see 'CHAIR.' If 'SHOUT' had been my second word, I'd have had that 'H' (although not the 'C').

With my train of guesses, I thought there had to be another vowel, thus 'POUTY.' I should've known better, of course..
