Quantagory

[andie8]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and loving it so far! I wonder if quantagories have become an 'official' puzzle category now? The word certainly hasn't found its way to dictionaries (not even Wikipedia!)

And I'm desperately looking for quantagory links, the one I got so far was that Mensa one, then again that spelled Western-Britnocentric...

Thanks and have a great day!!

Quantagory will be the next BIG thing. :)
It is a word cum number puzzle in which a quote or phrase can be derived from the numbers and abbreviations in the clue.
Andie8, it is also known as ditloid, numbletter or linguistic equation so you can google for this similar terms. You can also take part in the 1st Quantagory Contest (http://www.theerrandboy.com/quantagory/whatis4HinaT) at my site (http://www.theerrandboy.com/)
Cheers! :)
