Sorry about the backface delay : Thanks, but, um, what about Annie's first two?
ACEIILMNNOOOOOPPRRT : 1
MITORIOCOLONPROPANE : 5
PROPANOMITERIOCOLON : 6
MONOCOTOPIROPRALINE : 1
TIMORIOPROPANECOLON : 4 This is going to require a grid.
... putting aside a certain, shall we say, flammable gas pipe focus there are some good partials as I am known to call them.
Bonus hints :
- there is only one double letter combo and that is two of the O's
- the R's are each next to an O But you don't say whether they're RO or OR or one of each.

- in the middle of the word there is an implied color reference

porcelain moon Poirot - a fragile state of mental health (first subtly referred to by Agatha Christie with regard to her fictional detective, Hercule Poirot). Probably caused by him dunking pilocarpine mono root (from the jaborandi shrub) in his tea and then eating it.

Yes I didn't I, David? And you said that 36 days ago *slide eyes towards no one in particular* I suspect nothing's been said because I got the word right immediately. And I expect you all to agree...
However :) I decided to humour him a little by considering whether

I wrote down the jumble on a fresh sheet of paper the other day, but that was as far as I got.
