Cardinal Numbers in Town Names

Authors

Edward R. Wolpow

Abstract

The article "Words into Numbers" in the February 1977 issue of Word Ways introduced transadditions of the cardinal numbers: how few letters need one add to a cardinal number in order to transpose it into another dictionary word? This article examines the same topic, but restricts the transadditions words to a very special set -- the names of United States cities or towns with 5000 or more population in the 1970 census, as listed in the 1975 World Almanac.
