Flat #3 (Letter Bank).
Dec. 14th, 2002 05:59 amHaven't gotten back to doing even these. Sigh.
Anyway, I've already posted two flats, a Deletion and a Padlock. The next example is a Letter Bank. First, a word or phrase is chosen in which each letter is used only once, like "kitchen". This is the "bank." Then, a longer word or phrase is made by using each letter in the bank as many times as necessary (although each letter must be used at least once). From "kitchen," one could form "thick neck" or "kick in the teeth", but "necktie" wouldn't work (since the "H" isn't used).
Here's an brief example from the February 2002 Enigma. The bank is the two-word phrase represented by "KITCHEN"; "KICK IN THE TEETH" is the longer fifteen-letter word:
LETTER BANK (6 3, 15)
The Pope should excommunicate all tyrants
And set them as examples to aspirants
Who think that absolute regimes are bitchin';
Then all will know KICK IN THE TEETH's a KITCHEN.
