March 14 -- that is, Pi-Day -- will soon be here.

ReplyDeleteBelow is a Pilish Scrabblegram. A Scrabblegram uses each of the 100 tiles from a game of Scrabble exactly once. In the example below, the number of letters in each word (not in parentheses) are, in order, 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, etc. There's a link below that includes a picture to go with it. Enjoy!

Got no end, arguably.
Blanks: E, X
