The advantage of using this alphabet-order system is that,

Don't worry if this exercise proves a little difficult, because
immediately following is a complete list of Memory Words for the
numbers 1 to 100. Don't just accept them: check each one
carefully, changing any that you find difficult to visualise or for
which you have a better substitute.
