paper will publish Alaskagrams in

Each Alaskagram is a group of
scrambled letters which form mean
ingless words or a nonsensical phrase.
After an Alaskagram is unscrambled
the letters form the name of a place
in Alaska; however, there is one su
perfluous letter which is not needed
to form the word.
AH you Ho is re-arrange the letters
to form a single word which is the
name of a place in Alaska, and you
also show which is' the extra letter.
For example, the phrase “For a
rhant/e" when it is unscrambled
equals “ANCHORAGE" plus the ex
tra letter “F.”
Just remember that all place-names
consist of only one word—and re
