Alphomic Phrases

Abstract

In "Alphomes" in the August 1995 Word Ways, I proposed and defined the term alphome as a set of alphabetically-ordered letters of which at least one arrangement is a word. Some words, like BEEFILY, have their letters already arranged in alphabetical order and in these cases the word and its alphome are one and the same.
