Further Practice in Word Forming

It is not always necessary to put a vowel between the code sounds. Some letters combine into words without vowels between, as—

CuRTaiN—7412	CLuTTeR—7514	FaRMING—8437
BRaND—9421	PReaCHeR—9464	SPeNT—0921
PLaNT—9521	BuRGLaR—94754	SiLKS—0570

Also note that some words begin with vowels: Envelope for 2859; Amber for 394.

If at first you cannot easily form words for all numbers, do not be discouraged. Practice will give you most words instantaneously. Soon you will instantly recognize numbers like 285 as Novel; 741 as Cart; 101 as Toast. This ability will come quickly if you practice and in no other way will you acquire it.
