No. LXVII.—A SWARM OF WORDS
In each of the five crosses of this mystic figure the same letters are to be inserted where there are asterisks, so that seven different English words are formed, which can be read altogether in 64 different ways and directions.
There will then be in all the five crosses 320 readings of these seven words, three of them having 80 variations and four of them having 20, and only three different letters are used.
SEASONABLE ANAGRAMS
| “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” | ||
| My prayer and wishes reach many a part. | ||

| Many a sad heart can whisper my prayer. | ||
