Lexigrams

Hello!

I am new here.
However some may know me from other forums/sites.
Lexigramming is one of my passions for well over 4 decades to date.
Oddly I did not know of Linda Goodman's interest in them until I got internet access in 2005.
I called them LexAgrams not LexIgrams.
Well again....hello!

Lexigrams

May I speak freely or would it offend?

Hello everyone!
OK....before I start saying much about Lexigramming I feel I should clarify a few things about Lexigramming and myself and my passion for doing them.

I have been Lexigramming and Anagramming for over 4 decades to date. I learned how from my great grandparents. Many new and other ways have come to my attention since then. However the way I was taught is the easiest way I have yet encountered to date. Many games of Anagramming using vintage early 1900s letter tiles and boards were a part of my childhood in the 1950s and 1960s. Scrabble was a later passion as the old Anagram games wore out from frequent use. My partner is as passionate as I am about the art of and yes, the science and even mystery of Lexigramming and Anagramming. He learned of them at a very young age from his grandmother, and has been doing them for over 3 decades. So between us is over 70 years Lexigramming and Anagramming experience. I have been reading dictionaries etcetera for pleasure for over 47 years to date!
My family called it; as far back as anyone remembered, back to the 1800s:

LEXAGRAMMES and LEXAGRAMMING.
My partner’s family called it for at least as far back as the early 1900s:
LEXAGRAMS and LEXAGRAMMING.
A friend who would be over 110 years old if she were alive today..
called it:
NAME/WORD SCRAMBLE…(not SCRABBLE.)
Other names I have heard (there are more)Lexigramming called by oldtimers are:
NAME FRENZY
BREAKOUT WORDS
MYSTERY WORDS
DECODER
SHAKEUPWORDS...(a homemade game where pennies with letters marked on them are put in a jar or can, shook, dumped, then each player takes 50 tiles or lettered pennies and sees who can get the most words the fastest. There are two ways to play, and if anyone is interested I will describe it.

I also noticed most of you are adding letters and words not found in what you are Lexigramming. Were you aware of that and do you want to know?
And would you like fixing your errors?
I do not want to offend anyone.
I was doing Lexigrams before Linda, and much longer and in far more depth than anyone I have encountered to date.... as I said, and so was my family and many others throughout time. Linda simply brought it to the limelight and borrowed a term used in ape/primate communications for its name.

I hope I will be allowed to share my experience and examples with folks here.
Questions are welcome!
Blessings!
