Devil's Italian Dictionary

Wednesday June 18, 2003
Enigmi, fabuloserie, anagrammi, cruciverba, polisenso. For every word in the Italian dictionary there is the potential for wordplay, whether it be a palindrome, spoonerism, pangram, or some other verbal twist. The Devil's Italian Dictionary features entries such as: leoncavallo ibrido ottenuto incrociando una tigre con un asino; and quorum liquore (rum) preferito dal secondo nipote di Paperino.
