Unscramble PALLET

PALLET is a warehouse-and-art jumble: a wooden shipping platform, or an artist’s board. ENABLE keeps the word itself as the only six-letter anagram and adds 62 words from P A L L E T. The five-letter cluster is the useful one — plate, petal, pleat, lapel, leapt, palet, lepta, tepal.

The double L is the constraint. PALL, TALL, TELL and LAPEL spend both. PLATE and PETAL spend one. Two-letter stock is ae, al, at, ea, el, et, la, pa, pe, ta, te — PA and PE are the ones casual players forget.
