Here's a little game for you.... make as many words as possible using the letters in....NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY

Here are the rules:

1. For EACH word, use only the letters shown above. For instance, you can have a word that has up to FOUR a's, since there are a total of four in "National Scrapbook Day"; but you can have only one y, since there is only one in the phrase.

2, You must make actual words, not abbreviations.

3. Make as many words as you can.

4. Send your finished list to me via PRIVATE MESSAGE; do not post them in the thread! The deadline for sending me your list of words is BEFORE MIDNIGHT (PST) FRIDAY, MAY 11. The person with the most words will win a small prize from me.

So put on your thinking cap and have fun!

BECCA is the winner of this challenge, with a total of 680 words! :o :) Please PM me with your address and I'll get your prize sent out. Thank you to all the participants for playing along.

What is the minimum letters per word allowed? What about names?

Let's say at least two letters per word
I hadn't thought about names. Usually when we played word games like this in school, we were not allowed to use proper names because players would come up with some pretty wacky spellings of names and it was hard to decide which were ok and which were not.
