just a start....

Code:
$ cat spell_game
#!/bin/bash

matches=`awk '
(/^ball/ || /ball$/) && !(/^ball$/||/s$/||/ing$/||/ed$/||/er$/) {
  gsub(/ball/,"")
  if(length($0)>1) {print $0}
  $0=""
}

(/^hair/ || /hair$/) && !(/^hair$/||/s$/||/ing$/||/ed$/||/er$/) {
  gsub(/hair/,"")
  if(length($0)>1) {print $0}
  $0=""
}' /usr/share/dict/words | sort -d | uniq -d`

matchcnt=`echo "$matches" | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ ${matchcnt} -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "Sorry, I can't solve this one."
  exit 2
fi

if [ ${matchcnt} -eq 1 ]; then
  echo There was "${matchcnt}" possibility: "${matches}"
else
  echo There were "${matchcnt}" possibilities: "${matches}"
  exit 0
fi
