Thirteen Words (Posted on 2003-03-19) Difficulty: 5 of 5
List 13 words such that the first contains an anagram of the word ONE, the second contains an anagram of the word TWO, etc. The anagrammed words cannot be directly in the containing word, so that while "ounce", "sonnet" and "enough" are good for "one"; "gone" and "toner" are not.

Each letter of the alphabet is to be used once as either a first or last letter in one of the thirteen words

Try to use common short words. There's at least one solution with a total of 93 letters.

Just in case anyone else was trying to implement a computer program and ran into trouble:
While the addresses to the wordlists Charlie posted are correct, you cannot simply go to that address, or link directly to their txt file online. Presumably to prevent overloading of their server by people direct linking to their lists, they have ftp links to the files. You need to go to http://www.puzzlers.org/secure/wordlists/dictinfo.php and save the file to your own computer or server to use them.
