wwh, in a private message that I'm confident he won't mind my revealing, admitted that he finds it difficult to think of words "back-end first." I seem to be ambi-verbal, i.e.. I can think of words either starting or ending with a particular sequence of letters fairly easily.

I'm wondering, do others find one way harder or easier? (Seems like poets might find the back-end route easier.)

What say you? And what shall we call these two newly-discerned classes of wordophile? (I just love categorizing.)
