Cyclegram

← Curtailment
Deletion →

Each word or phrase in the base consists of two parts. The first part is identical to the second part of the preceding word; the second part is identical to the first part of the following word. The chain wraps around: the second part of the last word is identical to the first part of the first word. For a three-word base, the pattern is AB, BC, CA. Examples: mica, case, semi and ingle, legroom, grooming. A longer example: Tesla, layout, YouTube, Uber, rtes.

A cyclegram must have at least three words; with only two, it would be a transpogram.

The cyclegram was invented by Badir and introduced in October 2007.
