This is a fascinating book for the right person. Based on a quick glance, the book seems to give lots of examples of what you can do with letters and words: it gives answers more than it asks questions.
Some of the topics covered are acrostics, telephone words, palindromes, pangrams, letter distribution, consecutive identical letters, and transforming one word into another.
