Here's a breakdown of the process:
1. Identify the letters: We have the letters D, E, S, C, E, N, T.
2. Start with short words:
* Two-letter words: DE, EN,
* Three-letter words: DEN,
* Four-letter words: SEND,
* Five-letter words: SCENT,
* Six-letter words: DESCENT
3. Check for other possibilities: It's unlikely to find any more words using all the letters since we've already used the common combinations.
Therefore, we can form a total of 7 words from "descent":
* DE
* EN
* DEN
* SEND
* SCENT
* DESCENT
