Instructions
Solve puzzles by making as many 5-letter words as you can from a given word or group of words. Brackets () next to each puzzle word contain the number of words I found. You may find more or different words.
The first 10 puzzle words each have 10 or less solution words. The remaining puzzle solutions each contain 1 to 40 or more words, with many solutions having 6 to 11 words.
Hint. Look for multiple word possibilities; a word like GHOST can change to GOTHS or LUNAR can change to ULNAR.
Excluded words: Proper names such as JANET, archaic, obsolete, or vulgar words are not allowed.
Allowable words: Names like “BILLY” that have more than one meaning; words like INTRA because it can form part of a legal term; combining words such as MULTI or MACRO; plurals, and shortened words like EXECS or TOONS.
Canadian words may appear in some solutions, and name of a city or town may also appear in solutions.
Abbreviated words like TEMPS, meaning “temporary workers” are allowed.
If your device or download version permits typing within this ebook then that method may be best for solving puzzles. Otherwise, you may want to scroll through this ebook writing down the word/number for several puzzles and later check your solutions, or print out a page or two of puzzles if possible. Happy puzzling, Ted.
