Multiplettered


Multiplettered: Adjective. For a word or sentence to have multiple occurrences of the same letter. If a letter appears multiple times in order, the word/sentence is sequentially multiplettered. If a word/sentence is totally multiplettered then it is made up entirely of 2 or more of the same letter. If a half of a word/sentence is made up of the same letter, the word/sentence is semi multiplettered; an example in a sentence is, “’Mirror’ is a semi multiplettered word/sentence due to its Rs”. This word was first used in 1977 and quickly started competitions for young people to try to make the longest words/sentences that didn’t have multiple occurrences of the same letter, because of injuries sustained during these competitions they were quickly shut down or closely monitored for the next 2 years, at which point most people forgot about them. Non-multiplettering contests have not yet gained the popularity that they once had and few believe that they will, not because of what happened before, but because the competitions weren’t a very much fun at all.
