WHAT YOU DO TO WIN
litre’s how you take part In this big
opportunity! Every issue this news
paper will publish Alaskagrams in
consecutive order, six each week for
12 weeks—a total of 72 Alaskagrams.
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.
All you do 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
change” 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
member to show the extra letter.
There is only one correct answer to
each Alaskagram.
