Here's my humble submission:
on doIt
put the ticks into startTime
put fld "element" into gorp
repeat for each line l in fld "words"
put "Yes" into myAnswer
put l into myWord
put myWord into daWord
repeat 5 times
put char 1 to 2 of daWord into anElement
delete char 1 to 2 of daWord
if anElement is not in gorp then
put "No" into myAnswer
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if myAnswer contains "Yes" then put myWord & return after
finalAnswer
end repeat
put the ticks-startTime into totalTicks
answer totalTicks && finalAnswer && the number of lines in
finalAnswer
end doIt
Did it in 2 ticks and found 23 words :)

For my fellow puzzle addicts:
Here is this weeks NPR puzzle (Sunday Weekend edition)
Sunday Puzzle
By Will Shortz
Challenge for July 24:
A 10-letter word for a form of travel, that consists of five
consecutive symbols of chemical elements. What is it? If automobile
had been the answer, AU, would represent Gold, MO would represent
Molybdenum, and BI, would represent Bismuth. Unfortunately, the
remaining bigrams, TO and LE, are not chemical symbols.
I have put up a stack with two fields. The first contains all 10
letter words in my dictionary.
The second contains all two character elements from the periodic
table.
You task, should you choose to adopt it, is to write a Run Rev
handler to solve this weeks NPR puzzle defined above.
In the message box:
