Some
time in 2006 I read that it is possible to make 92 other English
words from the letters in “Planets.” I immediately started this
list. No
rules were given, but I’ve assumed the following: No
plurals – So you can have Ant, but not Ants. Letters may not be used twice – so you cannot have Tent. No proper names. No
foreign words, except those that are so widely and commonly used as
to be now considered part of the English language. So far
I have come up with 69 words. Help me complete the list, and
you’ll get credit on line. In
December, 2007, I added six words, including such obvious ones as
“as,” “an,” and “at.” Having ignored the project for a
year seemed to have given me new perspective. Since
then I’ve added another dozen words, including the seemingly
obvious pen, pelt, pent, plate, asp, spent and span. So far no word uses all the letters (i.e., an anagram). “Staple” comes the closest. Email us additional words and get credit below. --Dick Estel, August 2009 |
