Leigh Mercer wrote, November 6, 1968: "A 6 by 10 rectangle can be built from the twelve pentominoes (the twelve ways five squares can be put together) in 2,339 different ways. I have drawings of these, and made a card-index of 2,339 cards from the drawings, discovering some interesting things no one else knew. They wouldn't do for WORD WAYS, I fear ..."

Word Ways
When I was but thirteen or so, my seventh grade teacher, Milicent Whippoorwill, first acquainted me with the old spelling rule:
I before E,
Except after C,
Or when sounding as A,
As in "neighbor" and "weigh."
Miss Whippoorwill also used to encourage us to anagram words, in order that we might become more familiar with their spelling.

Logological Poetry: An Editorial, Howard W. Bergerson
Logological Poetry: An Editorial, Howard W. Bergerson
Word Ways
It was Dmitri Borgmann who put the word "logology" into circulation. Before Language on Vacation, his first book, was published, he wrote to me: "I don't believe the word 'logology' has ever appeared in a book devoted to words or puzzles. I dug it out of the unabridged Oxford while searching for a suitable name for my activity."

Anagrams And Mutations, Xavier Balilinkinoff
Anagrams And Mutations, Xavier Balilinkinoff
Word Ways
An anagram's interest can be considerably enhanced if its background is known. The background of the several anagrams on VIOLETS is a case in point. We quote here, with the kind permission of Charles Scribner's Sons, from the book, Dialogues in Limbo, by the late Professor George Santayana tells a story, which has been compared to Plato's parable of the cave, about the child.

Many Happy Hot Cross Buns To Leigh Mercer, J. A. Lindon
Word Ways
Mr. Lindon writes: "Leigh Mercer is now 75. For many years he has acted as a clearing-house for puzzle material, sending people all over the world ideas (true, often other people's), but never getting anything out of it himself: and he is not a wealthy chap. I feel it is time that he received some sort of recognition. You might ask yourself whether a series of "Present-Day Palindromists," giving collected examples of their efforts, mights not be interesting. There is, I believe, a fine PD writer living in France, whom I expect I could get in touch with if you …

Help Fill The Word Gap!, Temple G. Porter
Help Fill The Word Gap!, Temple G. Porter
Word Ways
Our language suffers from a word shortage. There are literally thousands of new phenomena that make modern life increasingly frustrating because we lack the words to aid us in dealing with them. This is because our surroundings change faster than our wordsmiths can provide us with the verbal handles needed to manipulate them.
How It Began, David Schulman
How It Began, David Schulman
Word Ways
Should anyone ask, "Who originated crossword puzzles?", or, "How did the first crossword puzzle get its start?", here are some of the salient facts, as best I have been able to gather them. You see, I have had reason to investigate the history of crosswords. Before the recent appearance of that superb reference work, Colliers Encyclopedia, I was consulted by Major Donald D. Millikin for information on his article about crossword puzzles.
Cbb Words, J. A. Lindon
Cbb Words, J. A. Lindon
Word Ways
The historical beginnings of the subject treated by Mr. Lindon in this essay may be of interest to readers. Several years ago, Ben Rogers noticed that the word LOGOLOGY possessed a certain simple property of alphabetical balance (see section twenty-nine of Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language, published by Charles Scribner's Sons), and communicated this to Dmitri Borgmann who subsequently found many more such words. Mr. Borgmann mentioned the matter to Mr. Lindon in a letter, but was vague on the subject, and Mr. Lindon, whose fertile mind was thus primed with only the shadowy notion that some words have some …

Doctor Smith And The Lawless Lords Of Logomycin, Cruel Zorbi

Doctor Smith wished to be known for his erudition , and that is why he had felt as guilty as a cornered baby-snatcher that time when someone had asked him about nidology. Being a bit weak on nidology - having never heard of it, that is - he had defiantly repeated what he had heard on the street-corners on what he had judged to be related subjects.
The Multiple-Letter Word Hunt, Dmitri A. Borgmann
The Multiple-Letter Word Hunt, Dmitri A. Borgmann

One of the many projects that has engaged the attention of serious-minded logologists has been the quest for words featuring one particular letter a substantial number of times. For instance, AMALGAMATED is a word with four A's; REFEREE uses for E's; and TUMULTUOUS includes four U's.

Some Neglected Ways Of Words, Ben Rogers
Some Neglected Ways Of Words, Ben Rogers
Word Ways
Words have ways which are so numerous (accourding to some mystics) that they are transinfinite (greater than Aleph N). Only a few of these ways are wayworn, while some other ones are only wayward, and still others of them are never even noticed by the wayside, by the way. It is a profound understatement to say that the world will sleep forever through the aeons with never the utleast awareness of most of these ways, even as some of the dearest and most wanted children shall never be born.
