TEA
EAT
ATE
Did you know three-letter anagrams like TEA-EAT-ATE work forward and down when close together like the above?
Is this commonly known? I guess so.
My thinking followed this ‘box’ I posted in a Facebook post this week:
TEA
4A2
3T3
eat tea for two
two Ts in: EAT TEA
TEA AND EAT in that box also create a letters T of course!
The numbers refer to two words of three letters, with two of each letters and the others adding up to four. The T shape of the letters could also be added to the two teas spelt out to make three.
I didn’t realise it until after writing it that EAT TEA is a longer way of saying E.T., as in extra-terrestrial!!
It also fits into my philosoT (edited down from philosophT) categories previously created here, referring to the drink tea rather than the food tea.
If it was provided by my muse for mistYmuse 2019/20 (#mYm2019) I thank my muse.
The box shape reminded me of 1987 (year I started travelling! Horror movies like that interweaved with the rock/metal music I liked) classic horror fiction Hellraiser’s box, but that is much more intricate and multi-dimensional!
Dear ol’ Pinhead, one of my favourite characters of that genre then.
Hellraiser fandom:— The first meeting between protagonist and antagonist:
Kirsty Cotton: “Who are you?”
Pinhead: “Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, angels to others.”
