Why?

Because.

Here's the challenge. How many words can you make using the letters

S H A T N E R

Letters may only be used once. You may post only once, and the number of English words you have on that post will be counted. Because this brilliant idea comes from a Shatner fan, I will go first.

A
AN
AT
AS
NETS
RAT
TAR


I have posted 7 words. Notice I could have pluralizes rat and tar, thus bringing my total to 9. However, I don't want to be accused of hijacking a thread just to win a contest that has no prize. The words must be acceptable to the On-line Merriam Webster Tenth Collegiate Dictionary. No whining. That's one of the rules.

SHAT ON!

Also, it's really interesting that if you take ALL the letters in Shatner you can get: "He rants."
