Extra Credit

Extra Credit

Week of October 30

How many words can you create using only the letters in your first and last name?

The words must be at least three letters long, and no letter can be used more than once in a word.

For example (e.g.), my first and last names are: Timothy Madden, so I can find just a few here, um:

  • mad
  • madden
  • moat
  • mitt
  • toy
  • den
  • add
  • tame
  • emit
