For each title make 5 NEW words from the letters.  (For instance for Scarlet one of the words could be scar).  5 words for each title will give you 20 words.  I know you all do it just for fun and to exercise your brain, but I’ll go ahead and give you points too.  5 points if no one else makes the same word and one point if they do.  Have fun 🙂
