Wordplay

Oulipo – a writing group that utilized self-imposed constraints, Oulipian writers believed these constraints stimulate creativity and the imagination.

• belle absente is a poem written with a simplified alphabet (i.e., without K, W, X, Y, and Z).
• homograph is one of a group of words that share the same spelling but have different meanings. (ie. dove (bird) and dove (dive))
• the cento is a work wholly composed of verses or passages taken from other authors; only disposed in a new form or order.
• eye rhymes are a similarity in spelling between words that are pronounced differently and hence, not an auditory rhyme. An example is the pair slaughter and laughter.
• hetereogram is a word, phrase, or sentence in which no letter of the alphabet occurs more than once.
• lipogram is a kind of constrained writing or word game consisting of writing paragraphs or longer works in which a particular letter or group of letters is omitted — usually a common vowel, the most common in English being “E“.
• tautology is an unnecessary or unessential (and usually unintentional) repetition of meaning, using different and dissimilar words that effectively say the same thing twice (often originally from different languages). ie. “Free gift” is tautologous because a gift, by definition, is something given without charge.
