I managed to find three definitions for Mnemonics on the net, they are as follows - 1. The art of memory; a system of precepts and rules intended to assist the memory; artificial memory. 2. A device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering. 3. Relating to, assisting, or intended to assist the memory.

Here’s a couple of “anamonics” – cross between an anagram and a mnemonic.
Aniseed is a useful 7 letter word as it has no anagrams and it contains high-probability letters. According to some sources, aniseed oil can be used to ease menstrual pain. There is another link between aniseed and 'menstrual' in that ANISEED, when combined with another letter, makes 11 different 8 letter words. The only letters that combine with ANISEED to make an 8 are the consonants in MENSTRUAL, i.e. MNSTRL. Collins update: ANISEED + G = AGENISED The complete list being: M: DEMAINES, INSEAMED; N: ADENINES, ANDESINE; S: ANISEEDS; T: ANDESITE; R: ARSENIDE, DENARIES, DRAISENE, NEARSIDE; L: DELAINES; G: AGENISED Submitted by Tony Hunt Two Letter Words beginning U - Remember upperacse consonants in uG HyMN PRieST Words made are UG UH UM UN UP UR US UT Submitted by Glenn Holmes Threes starting with OO - Remember upperacse consonants in ooF HyMN PRieST Words made are OOF OOH OOM OON OOP OOR OOS OOT Submitted by Glenn Holmes End Hooks for MU - Consonants in: Do go mum needs some textas Words made are mud, mug, mum, mun, mus, mut, mux Submitted by John Hamilton Sevens
