Create a Lexigram of any length, on any topic, from only the letters of the complete alphabet!
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
The latest challenge I put out was for folks to create a Lexigram on any topic they wish, by using only the singular letters of the COMPLETE ALPHABET!
Heh heh; not as easy as it sounds!
For example; if you wanted to actually write about the alphabet you would find yourself quite hobbled!
You cannot get for example these words:
LETTER LETTERS ALPHABET CONSONANTS PRINTING WRITING and many more relevant terms;
from ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ENJOY!

I have several MORE GAMES AND CHALLENGES in mind!

One thing I found interesting is WORD is there, but Not DRUID or DRUIDS.
WE, US, OUR, OURS, MY, MINE, THEY, THEM, are there also. So is SPIRAL, SPIN, MUSE, and The phrase.....
YOU MUST TRY TO GET ALOT OF THE WORDS TO DO YOUR LEXIGRAMS! ONCE YOU HAVE ACQUIRED ALOT OF YOUR WORDS, AS IN, AT THE VERY LEAST, MOST OF THEM, THEN THE MAGIC SPIRAL AND SPIN CAN BEGIN!

LINDA is there, but Not GOODMAN. MARY ALICE is there, but Not KEMERY.
STAR is there, but Not SIGNS.
SUN but Not SIGNS.
LOVE but Not SIGNS.
No GOOBERZ or OOBER or GALAXY either.
ZODIAC is there, but Not ASTROLOGY.

And this is there!
SO FOLKS....ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR LEXIGRAMS NOW? GET CRAZY! GO WILD!
HAVE FUN!

BUMP!

Hey one liners are A-OK!

I'll give it a go --

THE FIRST BET
(alphabet)

SINCE I MET YOU
I FIND I WANT TO
TRY TO SPEAK OR WRITE TO YOU
SO WE INVENT A WAY
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH OF US
WANTS TO SAY
AND WHAT WE MEAN
I + YOU = TEAM

Maria

Oh that is very lovely!
However;
understand has two of the letter "N",
So does invent.

Here are some synonym choices without
double letters of the singular alphabet
letters you can choose to use in lieu of both of those words.

Replace
UNDERSTAND with:
GRASP
FATHOM
GET
FIGURE OUT
COGNIZE
DISCERN
INFER
KNOW
MAKE OUT
TAKE IN
________
And these in lieu of INVENT
FASHION
FIND
FORGE
FORM
FORMULATE
DREAM UP
DISCOVER
FRAME
MAKE
MAKE UP
PLAN
PLAN OUT
PRODUCE
THINK UP
AUTHOR

I hope that helps!
Very curious to see what you might use in lieu of the two not allowed words!

Thanks for playing!
I made 22 errors in my first attempt!

PS.I just edited because I screwed up on three words I gave you to use!
It is not as easy as it looks even having all 26 singular letters of the alphabet!

Here is where others played and the corrective process at work with
some very excellent end results!

Grin. Funny it was N's both times that didn't register to me as repeating. Sometimes I like to find $20 words in lexis. But for this one, I'll go with fairly simple synonyms. Thanks for providing them.

P.S. Special bonus points -- The last line uses all the vowels, but each only once, which is why I used the symbols instead of words for plus and equals.

Absolutely beautiful!
However you could have used both PLUS and EQUALS because they both do not have any 2 copies of any letter in any singular word. If they even as symbols when spelled out had more then singular letters that would be an error.
In essence you did actually use them even though as their symbols.
I hope that made sense.
I am glad the synonyms helped!
PS.There are no vowel limits.

Grin. I know all that, hon! I've done a ton of lexis.

See, it went like this... The first line I wrote was actually AS I MET YOU, and looking at it I said, hey, look at that. There's a line with all the vowels only once. And then I wanted to go back later and change out AS with SINCE to make it read better, but I still felt like playing with the idea of AEIOU and as little else as possible in a line. And that's where the last line came from.

We have a lot of older lexi threads in this forum if you keep flipping pages or use Search. Also there are a few in the Newsletters. I was often part of writing them and making sure they met the rules. But you know how it is: it often takes more than one set of eyes to look back over them when you're writing on the fly. Suchi is always really good at catching out those double letters.

Maria

Thanks again for playing!
Ahhhh......now I get what you were doing with the vowels!
Yes I have looked at many of the Lexigram posts here and Lexigrams. I did not want to break any code of conduct and reply to alot of old threads or upset anyone by pointing out errors....which by the way, when I do point out errors I always try to come up with ways to fix them. But some folks still rather not know. I hold back posting here and at several other forums/sites, and would post a whole lot more but I do not want to have folks say I am thread hogging etcetera.

Don't be silly! Threadhog away!

Maybe we can get Shaman to come out and play and threadhog some number threads for us. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you both.

Maria

Ah Bless you Maria!
Thank you!
