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

First, letting the letter d represent in each case the 1' of the
number, try to complete the words for numbers 10 to 19, using the

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.
