Alphabet-Crashing Words

Authors

Edward R. Wolpow

Abstract

In previous issues, Word Ways has dealt with the topic of word crashes: the occurrence of individual letters of two words in the same position in both. In this article I introduce the topic of words crashing with the alphabet -- considering the alphabet to be circular rather than linear, so that A is the next letter after Z. I also consider crashes with the alphabet written in reverse order (Z to A).
