Big Amy on Wee Knights

Abstract

A Charade Word is a word that may be divided into two or more words: CHARADE = CHAR + ADE. As the game is ordinarily played, one should choose words having component parts that when said together sound more or less like the whole word; otherwise, one may run into difficulties: BEAU TIES sounds like BOW TIES rather than the desired BEAUTIES. For an article such as this, however, where sight is more important than sound, we are not so restricted.
