Like trying to come up with 5-letter words that can be re-arranged to
form at least 3 *other* 5-letter words starting with the same letter.

Such as:
Being, begin, binge
Crane, caner, carne
Panel, plane, penal
Plate, pleat, petal
Saint, satin, stain
Slate, steal, stale
Steel, sleet, stele


That list just popped into my brain at about 1:30 this morning.

And I'm sure there's *lots* more.......

You do realise you are at least as weird as I am ? Last time we used the
car (kind of unusual for us who live less than 10 minutes away from
working place by foot), we kept looking for cars with a plate that had
mathematical properties... ^^;;

While driving I try to think of words that contain the letters of the
license plates of other vehicles (kinda-sorta Scrabble-like). PA has 3
letters in their standard plate.

The shorter the word, the better.
Letters in order given within the word is better.
Alphabetical order is better (appears sooner in the dictionary)

So, given MND:
MuNDane is better than DaMNation
Mandate is better than Mundane
Mend is better than mandate
Is amend better than mend??
Is almond better than amend??

More important:
MouNDs Bar or alMoND Joy??
Sometimes you feel like a nut...
