3x3 Words

are/ear/era
apt/pat/tap
arm/mar/ram
art/rat/tar
asp/pas/sap/spa
ate/eat/tea
ent/net/ten (stolen from Yeish Lanu Harbe Baquanim)
now/own/won
opt/pot/top
pis/psi/sip

In case you're curious, I think it gets too easy starting with 5x5 words: there are only 6 possible combinations of any 3 letters, of which 50% must be words to get a 3x3; 24 possible combinations of any 4 letters, of which 17% must be words to get a 4x4; but 120 possible combinations of any 5 letters, of which only 4% need be words for a 5x5.
