Transposals Between U.S. Place Names

Authors

Eric Tentarelli

Abstract

In Word Ways in November 1973, Dmitri Borgmann searched for names of U.S. Cities, towns, or villages that were transposals of each other. The longest well-mixed pair he found consisted of 9-letter names: MASTERSON, Texas, and SEARSMONT, Maine. It is worthwhile to revisit this topic in hopes of finding longer examples.
