JACK-O-LANTERN Letter Mix-Up

It was the Friday before Halloween at elementary school, where I was subbing for a teacher in a Title I room. One of the things the teacher left for me was a word scramble based on the word jack-o-lantern. I love these kinds of puzzles, and as the kids started on theirs, I gave it a go. I ended up working on it that whole day whenever I had time, and over several days afterward. Each time I started up again, I found more simple words that I had missed before. You're welcome to put into the comments any words I missed. Try not to use the ample word scramble apps available on-line (I didn't)!

You can only use the letters in the word jack-o-lantern once in each word, but if a letter appears more than once in jack-o-lantern, like a or n, which appear twice, you can use it that many times. I resisted the urge to use Scrabble-type words, which are technically words because they're in the dictionary, but are not used generally in writing or speech. Lots of 2-letter words like this. I'm sure I missed hundreds of words, and I eventually will look at the apps to learn them.

OK, here's my list so far.
