Super heavyweights (Part 1).In "A Challenge Answered" in the May 1995 Word Ways, Darryl Darryl is a common English name from Old English and Old French origin, generally used for males, but also can be the name of a female. It was used since the time of the Norman Saxon invasion of England. Francis Francis, French prince, duke of Alençon and Anjou Francis, 1554–84, French prince, duke of Alençon and Anjou; youngest son of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. responded to a challenge of Tom Pulliam to assign words to all the numbers from 1 upwards, using the letter sum of words (A=1, B=2, etc.). He reached 250, microminiaturisation Microminiaturisation is the common name given to the dramatic effect the microprocessor had on electrical devices in the 1970s and 1980s. Before this time many 'computerised devices' ran using valves and then in turn transistors. , but missed 249. In "Extending Francis" in August 1995, the editor collated responses from various contributors to fill that gap, extending the unbroken run to 354. In the February February: see month. 1997 Word Ways, I gave words matching numerical numerical expressed in numbers, i.e. Arabic numerals of 0 to 9 inclusive. numerical nomenclature a numerical code is used to indicate the words, or other alphabetical signals, intended. palindromes, adding 363, 373, 383, 393, 434, 454, 474, and 484. In the August 1998 Word Ways I gave many dense words, but they were given as averages per letter, and in the November November: see month. 2003 issue Susan SUSAN Smallest Univalue Segment Assimilating Nucleus SUSAN Sub Saharan African Network SUSAN Smart Ultrasonic System for Aircraft NDE Thorpe Thorpe , James Francis Known as "Jim." 1888-1953.

In selecting items from a list more than ten times the size, for each weight I have chosen one of the shorter items, then looked for items which came closer to the ideal of a single, non-hyphenated word in English 1.

If an individual pea plant that has one allele for tallness and one for shortness is the same height as an individual that has two alleles for tallness, the is one reason I have given alternatives. Another reason is to introduce some leavening to the diet of place names, and medical and chemical terms. I have included some sayings and proverbs Proverbs, book of the Bible. It is a collection of sayings, many of them moral maxims, in no special order.
