THIS IS A LITTLE WORD-PLAY "GAME" I DEVELOPED YEARS AGO AND SENT TO PUZZLE MAGAZINE, THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED. R U ? I CALL IT "ABBREVIATED VOCABULARY"

Here's an example of how it works: The idea is to write a sentence using only single letters or numbers. Following are a few suggestions of words of one, two or three syllables which can be written using only one letter or number per syllable. eg. B 4 (before), MT, (empty) 4N (foreign) XMN (examine), Or names: PT (Petey) RT (Arty) LE (Ellie). Get it? Now here are some sentences for you to figure out. Take your time and pronounce each letter or number in rapid succession. It may require a couple of repetitions but you'll catch on. Then you can try some of your own.

The game was inspired by a riddle I saw in the Weekly Reader when I was in grade school. "What eight letters did the boy say when he looked into the cookie jar?" ans. OICURMT.
I elaborated on it and here are some examples for you to figure out. Take your time and pronounce each letter or number separately in rapid succession. It may take a few repetitions but you'll figure it out. Then you can try some of your own. Have fun.

  1. ATTIC "A titty I see"
  2. ICATT2 "I see a titty too"
  3. NI4NI " an eye for an eye" Try it yourself. It isn't rocket science.

Looks like greek to me, "oh, I see you are empty"?
