Now here is a slightly different twist to what is normally discussed. In these days of day glo shirts, jackets and trousers the old fashioned dungarees may disappear. For those already unfamiliar with them [bing.com]
Now what I propose is a little challenge. The letters in the word dungarees can be rearranged to make up to 90 different words. On a piece of paper see how many you can think off, give the number as a response and then say in a week's time we will all pile in and list the 90 and I will tell what is considered a good bad and indifferent score.
And please no cheating. ?
P.S. please thumb up if in, angry/disagree emoji if not in, shrug if not sure.

I actually got 110 without plurals. But it does include some slang and slightly foreign and archaic.
Not that I've ever played this game.

Wow. That is fantastic. Do you want to share via photo or if on computer your digitally stored list?
Are plurals and tense change allowed?
We have an s and ed here.
Also as previously asked, is the minimum 3 letter words?
Not that I've ever played this game.
On edit -
How about slang, vernacular, foreign but commonly used words.
Again-

There is an 's' in dungarees so if it is only used once then it is another word.
I got better things to do

Then why comment?
Are we talking about using all the letters in dungarees to form 9 letter words, or are we forming words of any length using only the letters available in the word "dungarees?" I suspect the latter.
If the latter, there are a good deal more than 90 words, and there are only 3 if the former.

Any length but limited to the 9 letters in the key word.
@FrayedBear -- Then there are a good deal more than 90 words available.
