Self-Expressive Number Names, A. Ross Eckler
Self-Expressive Number Names, A. Ross Eckler
Word Ways
If one sets A=1, B=2, ... Z=26, it is well-known that no number-name is self expressive (15+14+5 does not add to ONE, 20+23+15 to TWO, etc.). However, there are other ways to arithmetically combine numbers.

In May of 2007 the United States Postal Service did away with all the cheaper rates for foreign mail. All mail now must go at air mail rates, sometimes as much as nearly $10 per issue. In addition certain United States special rates have been abolished. Word Ways must now be delivered by first class mail to domestic subscribers and by air mail on a sliding scale to foreign readers. Please check our new rates on the inside front cover. These rates are designed so that Word Ways can break even in its production - we do not aspire to …
Scrabble Algebra, David Morice
Scrabble Algebra, David Morice
Word Ways
In the Aug 1991 Kickshaws, I noted that TWELVE is the only self-referential number in Scrabble. That is, the Scrabble values of the six letters add up to the number itself: 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 4 +1 = 12. In the Nov 1991 Kickshaws, Jeff Grant suggested spelling the numbers on a Scrabble board, which has double and triple letter and word squares, and using that method he found that the following are self-referential.
Concatenating Letter Ranks, Roger Bilisoly
Concatenating Letter Ranks, Roger Bilisoly
Word Ways
This note is inspired by Numbo-Carrean, which was introduced in Ross Eckler's Word Recreations [1] in the chapter called "Ten Logotopian Lingos." This lingo uses words with the following property: when each letter is replaced by its letter rank (or alphabetic position number), the resulting number is a perfect square. That is, a is replaced by 1, b by 2, c by 3, and so forth, and these numbers are concatenated.
Spoonergrams Ii, Jim Puder
Spoonergrams Ii, Jim Puder
Word Ways
Spooneristic switches of sounds between words can occur not just in pairs of words, but in trios, quartets, etc. of words as well. When every word in a group of n words partakes of an equivalent exchange of sounds with every other word in the group, the result can be graphically represented as an array of n words called a spoonergram.

Anacrograms 3: Quotations, A. Anil
Word Ways
Anacrograms, introduced in May, are anagrams of the acrostics (first letters) of expressions, a sort of wheels-within-wheels word play. Part 2 in August gave examples from common idioms and sayings. Here are examples from a wide variety of quotations, familiar and not. All results - paraphrases, follow-ons and 'antonyms' - are combined in alphabetical order by author, except for a dozen of the more successful efforts which are featured on this page in no particular order.

Chemical Elements Inside Of Other Elements, Antonio Joaquin Franco Mariscal
Chemical Elements Inside Of Other Elements, Antonio Joaquin Franco Mariscal
Word Ways
The names of the chemical elements have received a certain amount of attention in Word Ways over the years. Borgmann (1968) presented a quiz on 20 transposed element names in the first issue of Word Ways. Other articles have documented more extensive transpositions of element names (Borgmann, 1974, 1978; Francis 1977) and where an element did not have a transposition, Francis (1977) offered the shortest possible transadditions of the element names.
Palindromic Movie Reviews, Win Emmons
Palindromic Movie Reviews, Win Emmons
Word Ways
In two articles in 1995 issues of Word Ways Ross Eckler presented anagrammatic movie reviews. That is, they were movie reviews obtained by anagramming the movie's title. In that spirit I present here Palindromic Movie Reviews. There is, of course, a natural limitation to what can be said given the constraints of having the title actually appear reversed in the text, so these do not pretend to be "actual discussions", as it were, of the movie, but simply opinions about the film, often intended to be spoken to a friend, for example.

Starting with two or more generic sequences, there are several ways in which they may be arranged in relation to each other, sometimes forming a word.
Double Triples, Steve Kahan
Double Triples, Steve Kahan
Word Ways
A double triple is a pair of identical triads that appears consecutively in a word, phrase or name. For example, the word MURMURED contains the double triple MUR, while the phrase ONE PER PERSON contains the double triple PER. The residue of a word, phrase or name that contains a double triple results from removing it and listing the remaining letters in their order of appearance. Accordingly, ED is the residue of MURMURED, while ONESON is the residue of ONE PER PERSON.

Word Ways
As introduced in Volume 40, Number 2 of Word Ways, this word b e E K E E P E r contains a pair of consecutive palindromic triads - E K E and E P E. Removing both and running the remaining letters together, what remains is b e r. The twenty five new examples presented below represent the residues after a pair of consecutive palindromic triads has been excised from a familiar word, phrase, or name.

Here is a rather hard puzzle. Assign the sixteen numbers 1 through 15 to the letters of OSCAR THUMPBINDLE so that the eight words BASH, BUMP, CLAD, CURE, HORN, MIND, PLOT, and SITE each sume to 30. There are 86 ways four of the sixteen numbers can sum to 30 and therein lies the puzzle's difficulty.

A Near-Perfect French 9-By-8 Word Rectangle, A. Ross Eckler
A Near-Perfect French 9-By-8 Word Rectangle, A. Ross Eckler
Word Ways
The following 9-by-8 French word rectangle attributed to Jean-Charles Meyrignac appears on the Internet (for example, on www.mathpuzzle.com for May 25 2004). The source says that all but one of the words can be found in the Petit Larousse. This is intermediate in difficulty between an 8-by-8 and a 9-by-9 double word square, the latter of which has never been done in English. No 9-by-8 English rectangles are known by us to exist, but French is particularly adaptable to this form because of the many inflected verb forms.
Transposing 4-Letter Words, Susan Thorpe
Transposing 4-Letter Words, Susan Thorpe
Word Ways
In Transposing Rates (WW87195), Jeff Grant listed the 24 transpositions of the four letters AEST. He said "Although some of the terms and references are rather obscure, it is an accomplishment unlikely to be equalled with any other set of four letters". This is a challenge which appears to have lain dormant for 20 years. Here, I offer other sets of 24 transpositions.
Sacred Manuscripts Boast Secret Ciphers, Susan Thorpe
Sacred Manuscripts Boast Secret Ciphers, Susan Thorpe
Word Ways
In Orthograffiti (WW78217), Richard Lederer showed that a single sound can be demonstrated by many letters. The sounds which concern us here are the long vowels, specifically the sounds of the 5 major vowels A, E, I, O, and U as they are pronounced in the reading of the alphabet. The sound symbols are those of the Phonetics List of the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition. However, I include a further parameter. The long vowel sound must either be preceded, or succeeded, by the short 's' sound.

This extends the 3-dimensional HOT-PAD and the 4-dimensional SALT-MINE dice described in "Magic Word Dice", May, 2007 to a fifth dimension (see also J. Puder's remarks in the August 2007 Colloquy). A schematic (2-dimensional!) drawing of the 5-cube follows. It is based on the word pair POLAR-MINES and every node word uses exactly one each of the five pairs 1 = P-M, 2 = O-I, 3 = L-N, 4 = A-E and 5 = R-S.
