Word Ways

A. Ross Eckler

Abstract

Most words are queen-graphable; each different letter can be placed on a chessboard in such a way that a chess queen can spell out the word in legal moves (no jumping over one letter to reach another though). As Leonard Gordon demonstrated in the August 1996 Word Ways, one can use the same queen graph to spell out different words.
