How many meaningful English words can be formed using all the letters of the word 'LEAST'?
More than three
More than three is correct.
The word LEAST has the letters L, E, A, S, T, each used once.
Meaningful English words using all five letters exactly once include: SLATE (a rock or writing board), STALE (no longer fresh), STEAL (to take without permission), TALES (stories), TEALS (ducks or a blue-green colour) and LEAST itself.
Even leaving out LEAST, SLATE, STALE, STEAL and TALES already give more than three words.
Hence, more than three meaningful words can be formed.
