So, I posted earlier about how playing an online word game can waste your time away. Not only that, it invades your thinking. I listed words that could be made with these letters: W A R N E D. It was a respectable list. I'll repeat it here.
RAW
DRAW
WAR
WAN
WANE
WANED
WAND
AWE
AWED
WED
RED
READ
ARE
ERA
EAR
END
REND
DEN
DEW
NEW
EARN
DARN
NEAR
DEAR
DARE
WEAR
WARE
WARN
WARNED
There's just one problem. As I'm going through my day, more and more words keep popping into my head that I missed. This is what I've come up with so far:
ANEW
WEAN
DEAN
ADE
WADE
WADER (don't know for sure if the game would take this one)
DREW
AND
NERD
WARD
WARDEN
Playing the game online is easier than making this up because it has spaces for all the words, including how many letters they should have. So, can you find any more 3-6 letter words I've missed above?

DAWN, is about it from rob-
ROB
RO
BO
BOR (SIC)
I'm hurt.
-------WANDER--------
just sayin'
Rob - good catch. Remember, though, for your name that words have to have a minimum of 3 letters.
Meadowlark - I'm so sorry! I can't believe I missed that. *hanging head in shame*
RAN
Duh.
WAD
Double duh.
Supposedly, the definitive list:
and, ane, anew, are, awe, awed, awn, awned, dare, darn, daw, dawen, dawn, dean, dear, den, dew, dewan, draw, drawn, drew, ear, earn, end, era, ern, nae, nard, near, new, rad, ran, rand, raw, read, red, redan, rend, rewan, wad, wade, wader, wae, wan, wand, wander, wane, waned, waner, war, ward, warden, ware, wared, warn, warned, wean, wear, wed, wen, wend, wren.
I guarantee the online version I play would not accept all of those. "Awn" for instance - it never takes that one, although you and I know it's a grass seed. Where'd you go get this? From Jenn's link?
I used to play text twist, now I'm pretty much a freerice.com girl. :-)
Nooooo - not that! I already got caught by that once. It takes all my time.
viv trying to lose the link in nz
Well, I'm impressed.
When I was playing yesterday, it wouldn't accept the word 'chert'! As a geologist, I was shocked!! :)
We also ought to tell folks (if you haven't already) that it doesn't accept proper nouns (and doesn't like contracted words, either).
Damn addictive game...
Do you like logic problems? We love these:

Sorry I'm not good at putting in nice links.
Missed the question you asked Chile. I don't remember where I got the list... I just googled what I was trying to accomplish and went to some random site.
'cause that's how I roll :)
(and I'm totally stoked that my capcha is RAVER. I feel so uber trendy)
Your list of words is impressive. I play this with whatever word is in front of me on elevators and waiting for the bus. It's good Scrabble practice which is my favorite computer game.
