It appears that my Winter 2019 Contest using the letters A, M, H, E, R, S and T to create words was popular. Stearns is another Amherst-related word whose letters can create many other words. I lived in Stearns Hall during my freshman year. Here is your next challenge: Using only the seven letters S, T, E, A, R, N and S; using none of them more than once in each word, other than S, which can be used twice; and using no online solving tools, create as many words as you can that contain at least four letters.
Your Challenge
Send your word list to magazine@amherst.edu or mail it to Amherst magazine, Box 5000, Amherst MA 01002.
We’ll publish the longest list in the next issue, and its author will win an Amherst T-shirt.
