I was looking through some old notebooks that got unearthed during Spring Cleaning and happened upon a lexigram sketch I’d done about ten years ago.
Back then, we were playing with the phrase DREAMLAND/AREA FIFTY-ONE at a Lexagram Party. This term, of course, refers to the mecca of alien conspiracy truth-seekers, a United States military base near Roswell, New Mexico where, decades ago, a UFO crash-landed and its technology was commandeered by the American government.
The letters in
DREAMLAND / AREA FIFTY-ONE
can make the words which say
A FORTEAN METEOR MARTYRED
MERE MEN DARE TO FLY AN ALIEN DYNAMO
Now, if you don”t know who Charles Fort is and his connection to conspiracy theory and unnatural events, I invite you to peruse the good-book-Wikipedia here.

When searching for words-within-words, shuffling the sequence of letters in the name or phrase is very helpful. While an online generator is great to quickly obtain a list of candidate words which are valid for lexagrams or anagrams, there is much fun to be found in searching for words yourself! Changing the sequence of the letters in a phrase give our brains a fresh perspective on the situation. New words will seem to jump out after simply re-arranging the letters into a new pattern. Rearrange the letters carefully and find new words. Continue exploring by studying the sequences of letters in this phrase.
