Word Play

I have become quite addicted to playing Lexic on my phone, handy way to pass the time when stuck somewhere. If you aren't familiar, the object it to spell out words of three or more letters using only connecting squares. No skipping over letters, no reusing letters.

Simple example:

N E T
K A S

You could get "SEAT" but not "SEATS"
You could get "EAT" but not "EATEN"
"TASK" is a no go.

There is a time limit, but since you can set it yourself on the phone it really doesn't play. When your time is up they give you a score, and they show you all the words you missed (just to rub it in). I tell you all this because I got a grid to work with the other day that had the fewest possible words of any I've come across. I thought I'd put it here in case any of you want to play; count the words you find and post your number here if you are so inclined.
