This system should work just fine. Some three digit numbers may be more difficult to come up with words than others, but I don’t see any real obstacles with using it.

The major system which I have been using for 30 years breaks down a lot when trying to turn a three digit number into one word. Does your system work well with most three digit numbers?

I wanted to find two words that had letters in them that had a high frequency of words associated with them. Thus I came up with the following: BACON RUMPS-two words very easy to remember. B=1 A=2 C=3 O=4 N=5 R=6 U=7 M=8 P=9 S=0 So in your example '999' could be Purple Passion Punch Peter Piper's Pickle Pepperoni Pizza Party Or many other phrases and sentences. The letters that don't correspond to any number can be used as fillers to make the sentences coherent.

had letters in them that had a high frequency of words associated with them. Thus I came up with the following: BACON RUMPS-two words very easy to remember.

B=1
A=2
C=3
O=4
N=5

R=6
U=7
M=8
P=9
S=0

So in your example ’999′ could
be Purple Passion Punch
Peter Piper’s Pickle
Pepperoni Pizza Party

Or many other phrases and sentences. The letters that don’t correspond to any number can be used as fillers to make the sentences coherent.
