Amazing Boggle Board
Pages: 12
My wife and I tend to play Boggle together in the evening.
Tonight we tumbled the most amazing board. After three minutes were up, we spent the next ten just finding words. There are so many words in it.
I had her take a picture of it (so we can post it on Facebook). LOL.
I love puzzles like this one.

I forget how to play Boggle. Words have to be 4 letters, right?
EDIT: also I suck at Boggle. Going on a minute the only words I found are LONE and LONER
EDIT 2: and LONERS lol
EDIT 3: or is it 3 letters? I see a bunch of 3 letter words. That makes more sense.

Words have to be three or more letters.
Each letter must touch the next (either diagonally or orthogonally).
No die may be used more than once per word.
A word may not be a proper noun or an initializm, but common nouns and contractions are OK, as are plurals and the like.
For example, the above puzzle has both "it's" and "its". Also, "are" and "aren't".
Your score is the sum of all minus two letters in each word you find uniquely. The above four words I listed sum to 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6. My score last night, after eliminating the words my wife also found, was 39.
What words to you find?

oh crap, you can go diagonal too? Wow there's a million words in there then.
Here we go:
asp, spa, hoe, hot, toe, hem, rent, lone, loner, loners, home, homo, apt, tin, more, spat, shot, hit, hits, monet (is that a word?), ate, hip, pat, pin, pine, loe, prom, promo, hips, hone, tore, torn.
I don't know if it took me 3 minutes to find that. Probably not worth 39 points, especially not if you remove duplicates. I get the feeling you would cream me at Boggle. heh.

Ah, I forgot to mention that shortened versions of words, and word parts, are also disallowed. So "homo" is out.
"Monet" is a proper noun -- a surname, usually referring to Claude Monet, the painter.
(It is also an initialism for "Multiwavelength optical networking" -- so that is also disallowed.)
"Prom" is short for "promenade".
I'm not so sure you'd do that bad against me. I got most of them, but you got a few I didn't see in the first three minutes.

Although I didn't notice ten until you mentioned that. Also net
EDIT: oh wait you can use the other T for tent! it is right there. heh.

I see oreo, would that count?
(on second thought, Firefox is saying that it's a misspelled word...)

I put Oreo's in ice-cream, yummy.
Edit: Well, after re-reading that post it appears un-intelligent.
Edit2: Nice use of extra ASCII characters Duoas.

I've already listed the rules above.
Right, since everyone is done is looking, here are the words I got in the first three minutes. (Melissa and I found nearly as many more afterwards, and she didn't save the words she found, which, discounting those we had in common, were nearly half again as many):

Salem or Marlboro? LOL. (I don't smoke, personally... it's a horrible habit.)
@chrisname
Contractions are OK.
It is a stupid rule, I think, but I didn't design the game. (After all, "are not" are two words.)
