jdl, you can not only find "premade" words (which can be used) -- you can take letters from the word and combine them. For example, for "ready" ray is one of possible answers. (Others are read, red, dare, dear, dry... maybe others)

CD is one I didn't notice, but there are lots more, beyond the obvious things. :wink:
They way I found these 15 is first: check ANY consonant as a possible start for a word. Continue with a vowel. This is the way MOST of these words can be found.
Then check to see if a vowel can begin a word. (I haven't found any)
And finally there's one word SO often overlooked that nobody has any hope of finding it without a hint. :twisted:

There are more normal words, and one word similar along the lines for "a".

Ad can be considered a word, but ab isn't. And dab is very obscure.
