Alternade Alternade An alternade is a word in which its letters, taken alternatively in a strict sequence, and used in the same order as the original word, make up at least two other words.

In the majority of alternades, every second letter is used to make two smaller words, but in some cases, every third letter is used to make three smaller words.
