Dial-a-Phrase
Generate phrases from telephone numbers. This handy little tool takes a telephone number and, using the letters on a standard telephone keypad, generates the phrases that match the number. The phrases found are then ranked using letter-pair frequencies to sort the better phrases (those which form words) from the random letter patterns. Of course, not everyone can have a phone number that matches a memorable, word-based phrase. Numbers that contain a 0 or 1 will not generate word-based phrases because 0 and 1 do not have letters associated with them on the keypad. Numbers that contain the same digit repeated more than twice may not produce a memorable phrase because the range of letters becomes restricted. Numbers that contain the digits 3, 4, 6 and/or 8 have a better chance of generating a word-based phrase because these digits correspond with vowels. |
