ENGLISH BRAINSTORMERS!

1.    SCAN, SORT, AND EARN

At least 35 present or past tense verbs can be found in this puzzle. Scan, sort, and earn are
three such words. The letters of each word must be in a box either adjacent to or diagonal
to each other. Though the same letter can be used twice in a word, no letter can be used
consecutively. You must move from one letter to another. Write your words on another
sheet of paper. Each word is worth 1 point. So scan the puzzle, sort the letters, and earn
your points!
