Abstract

Previous articles in Word Ways have discussed such matters as the words with the most hyphens, words with internal capital letters, and various symbols which appear as entries in Webster's Second. These can all be characterized as word shapes. This article will present some of the ways in which shapes can be unusual, including examples and a quiz.
