I know this might not be the right forum but I also know many here are into mnemonics.

Does anyone know a source for a Peg Word table or list for 1 to 400?

I only need 27 from between 147 to 369. I could make up my own but some are a stretch to come up with. I'm wondering if someone has already done it.

If you already have existing pegs for 00-99, here's an approach in which you develop another 100 pegs. Instead of just winding up with 200 pegs, though, you wind up with 10,000 (covering 0000-9999):

You also might try asking the people here about a system that would work:

Thank you Josh, I found what I needed.

Apparently they had trouble with some of the peg words not being a close match to the rule as well.

Thank you Scott, I'll have to read it later but the concept is intriguing.

I'm not sure of the name but I'm using the Phonetic alphabet to numeral system in Harry Loraine's Memory book (I forget which one) about the same as In Simon Aronson's "A Stack To Remember".

I will google dominic system when I get some time.

I'm about 1/3 through with my project now and I have the info. I needed but I'm generally curious about the subject.

Thank you mnemonist.

Mary, the one you're using is generally know as either "Major System" or the "Peg System" (1=D/T, 2=N, etc.)
