This is a list of words I came up with, when trying to re-arrange letters for a word game, to spell a mystery word, but were not acceptable words at the time. If I can remember, I'll note the game I was playing at the time. I had made up loads of these before and have them in old notebooks and journals, but never thought to put them all in once place until today (Oct 21, 2025). “SB” stands for Spelling Bee. “LAT WS” stands for LA Times Word Search.
