Well done if you attempted the 3 letter word chain puzzle. It was harder than it looked. I had two replies one of 34 letters - well done Maire, and another of 74 from Wanda. Here is her solution
I managed a longer list with only 4 unused letters and 2 unused blanks.
Even if you didn't have a go at the puzzle, do study the pictures above..you may learn some new 3 letter words.

Imagine you turn over your first tile…it’s a blank. You think you will have a bonus word on your first rack. Your heart sinks when the remaining 6 tiles are rubbish! But what if you look closely….
Listed below are 26 racks, each containing a blank.
Each rack makes just one bonus word – can you find them all ?
As an extra clue, the blank represents a different letter of the alphabet for each different rack. (ie. Only use the blank as an A once, a B once etc..). The blanks are not in alphabetical order though!
Hint to solving…
Most of the words are everyday English, none are obscure Scrabble words.
Give each rack a few moments. Don’t worry if you can’t solve it straightaway.
Once you have found a few, then think about where the vowels might go, and then the JQXZ.
Make note of which letters you’ve used…and then try the remaining letters against the remaining racks.
