Good morning,

Think I have gone wrong with two clues on the local cryptic today.

Ken longed to remove beastly accommodation (3&6)
??? ?E?O??

This is possibly where I have gone wrong.

Tip squire arranged energetically to start with resulting in casual profit. (10)

The letters I have are P???U?C???

However, the qick solve on this site only gives me 3 possibles = pinguecula a slightly elevated elastic tissue deposit in the conjunctiva that may extend to the cornea but does not cover it

Pinguicula butterworts: a large genus of almost stemless carnivorous bog plants; Europe and America to Antarctica
See Butterwort.

Pronuncial Of or pertaining to pronunciation; pronunciative.

I can't tie any of these in. Cheers.
