Okay, first let's define some terminology:
- Anagram - Oh come on, how are you on Puzzling.SE if you don't know this one?
- Anagram Set - a list of words that are all anagrams of eachother, e.g.:
- ACTS
- CAST
- CATS
- SCAT
- Fully-Firstable - An anagram set where each of the letters can be found at the beginning of at least one of the words. The previous example would not qualify because there is no word starting with 'T'. One example would be:
- OPTS
- POST or POTS
- SPOT or STOP
- TOPS
I have been able to find a relatively small number of these. One optional rule I will allow to increase the chances of finding more is that if a set contains more than one of the same letter, you only need to have one word which starts with that letter, e.g. the set:
- EEL
- LEE
Only needs 2 words to qualify since there are only 2 unique letters.
I can easily find a number of 3- and 4-letter sets, but I am aware of only two 5-letter sets with this property, one of which uses the letter-doubling rule and one which does not. Can you find them? Are there more? Are there any with 6 or more letters?
Oh, let's disallow some things: No proper nouns or acronyms (unless these acronyms have since become commonly used as standard words such as "laser" or "scuba"), no splitting the letters into 2 or more words, stick to English please - my examples are relatively common words, but if you come up with any that use questionable or archaic words you might want to back them up with a reputable dictionary link. Also, screams, laughs, or other sound effects are not words. I'm looking at you, "AAAAAA" or "AHAHAH / HAHAHA". These are trivial to come up with and thus disqualified.
Scoring
Since the original intended answers have both been found, the search is on for longer sets! The set with the most letters will take the checkmark - in the event of a tie, the set that relies the least on letter-doubling will win.

I found the same one as @Omega Krypton did (first time I got answer sniped, darn!), but I also found a possible letter doubling solution:
ESTER
RESET
STEER
TREES
and a couple of questionable ones:
EWERS
RESEW
SEWER
WERES (fantasy term for people who can transform into other beings; doesn’t appear in OED, Merriam-Webster, or Dictionary.com unfortunately)
EASTS
SEATS
ASSET
TASES (uses a taser on someone; doesn’t appear in OED but does on MW and Dictionary.com)

Your first one is my intended letter-doubling solution. (It could also include rot13(GREFR)). Your other ones are indeed questionable, but you can have the checkmark - @OmegaKrypton has the other answer I was looking for, but found it with a computer, so this one wins for now - unless somebody can find a 6+ set...

Hmm, a bit obscure on that last one, but I guess I can allow it - in the interests of tie-breaking though, those requiring the fewest letter-doublings will take precedence. (e.g. if someone finds a 6-letter with only 1 or no doubles, it would beat this one. A 7-letter or more would beat either, etc.)

I don't think I've seen the question you're referring to, so no, no collaboration. I feel like your first word might be considered either a proper noun or a foreign word? Seems to be consistently either capitalized or italicized in that article...

@DarrelHoffman It's in SOWPODS and other Scrabble dictionaries, but seems to be there for its other meaning of mountain ridges, which would normally be written with an accent. (See scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/tools#dictionary .)

@DarrelHoffman please click the link/word for the English usage — plus I believe I got this answer with the same number of doubled letters before the currently accepted answer. It doesn’t appear, from the Wikipedia article, that it is a proper noun either.

This is why I wish we were allowed more than one check-marked answer - we've also got a new contender that managed 6 letters with no doubling, though the words grow increasingly obscure. Not quite sure where to draw the line...

For these kinds of questions where "Scrabble dictionary rules" always top out at 5 or 6 characters, I always wish we would allow "crossword dictionary rules." For example:
(6 letters, all kinds of cheats)
ANOLES /
NO SALE /
ON SALE /
LANOSE /
E-LOANS /
SLOANE
(6 letters, 20% proper nouns)
ENTERS /
NESTER /
TENSER /
RESENT /
STERNE
(5 letters, 40% cheats)
APRES /
PEARS /
EARPS /
REAPS /
SPARE
(6 letters, 80% proper nouns)
EISNER /
IRENES /
SERINE /
NEREIS /
RIESEN
To justify my posting as an answer, here's one with some uncommon words that hasn't been listed yet. (6 letters, no cheats)
ALERTS /
LASTER /
ESTRAL /
RATELS /
TALERS /
STALER

@DarrelHoffman Talers, the link says Thalers. And that Taler became an alternate german word, but it did not affect the english spelling. So it doesn't quite count. Good try though!!!

@Sensoray: "Taler" is a Scrabble-accepted historical variant of "Thaler" — as is, for that matter, "Dollar"! en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taler#Etymology_2 I just figured the Wikipedia link would be most relevant to the casual what's-thatter.

Welcome to puzzling! You formatted it mostly right, just need to put 4 spaces at the end of each line to make the new one appear on a new line.

Thanks @Sensoray - I was wondering what I was doing wrong there with the spoiler format, never used it before.

I found the same one as @Omega Krypton did (first time I got answer sniped, darn!), but I also found a possible letter doubling solution:
ESTER
RESET
STEER
TREES
and a couple of questionable ones:
EWERS
RESEW
SEWER
WERES (fantasy term for people who can transform into other beings; doesn’t appear in OED, Merriam-Webster, or Dictionary.com unfortunately)
EASTS
SEATS
ASSET
TASES (uses a taser on someone; doesn’t appear in OED but does on MW and Dictionary.com)

Your first one is my intended letter-doubling solution. (It could also include rot13(GREFR)). Your other ones are indeed questionable, but you can have the checkmark - @OmegaKrypton has the other answer I was looking for, but found it with a computer, so this one wins for now - unless somebody can find a 6+ set...

Hmm, a bit obscure on that last one, but I guess I can allow it - in the interests of tie-breaking though, those requiring the fewest letter-doublings will take precedence. (e.g. if someone finds a 6-letter with only 1 or no doubles, it would beat this one. A 7-letter or more would beat either, etc.)

For these kinds of questions where "Scrabble dictionary rules" always top out at 5 or 6 characters, I always wish we would allow "crossword dictionary rules." For example:
(6 letters, all kinds of cheats)
ANOLES /
NO SALE /
ON SALE /
LANOSE /
E-LOANS /
SLOANE
(6 letters, 20% proper nouns)
ENTERS /
NESTER /
TENSER /
RESENT /
STERNE
(5 letters, 40% cheats)
APRES /
PEARS /
EARPS /
REAPS /
SPARE
(6 letters, 80% proper nouns)
EISNER /
IRENES /
SERINE /
NEREIS /
RIESEN
To justify my posting as an answer, here's one with some uncommon words that hasn't been listed yet. (6 letters, no cheats)
ALERTS /
LASTER /
ESTRAL /
RATELS /
TALERS /
STALER

@DarrelHoffman Talers, the link says Thalers. And that Taler became an alternate german word, but it did not affect the english spelling. So it doesn't quite count. Good try though!!!

@Sensoray: "Taler" is a Scrabble-accepted historical variant of "Thaler" — as is, for that matter, "Dollar"! en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taler#Etymology_2 I just figured the Wikipedia link would be most relevant to the casual what's-thatter.

For these kinds of questions where "Scrabble dictionary rules" always top out at 5 or 6 characters, I always wish we would allow "crossword dictionary rules." For example:
(6 letters, all kinds of cheats)
ANOLES /
NO SALE /
ON SALE /
LANOSE /
E-LOANS /
SLOANE
(6 letters, 20% proper nouns)
ENTERS /
NESTER /
TENSER /
RESENT /
STERNE
(5 letters, 40% cheats)
APRES /
PEARS /
EARPS /
REAPS /
SPARE
(6 letters, 80% proper nouns)
EISNER /
IRENES /
SERINE /
NEREIS /
RIESEN
To justify my posting as an answer, here's one with some uncommon words that hasn't been listed yet. (6 letters, no cheats)
ALERTS /
LASTER /
ESTRAL /
RATELS /
TALERS /
STALER

I don't know, judges? That last one looks plausible, (though the others are clearly bending the rules a bit).

@DarrelHoffman Talers, the link says Thalers. And that Taler became an alternate german word, but it did not affect the english spelling. So it doesn't quite count. Good try though!!!
