As did I, mainly because I was trying to think of some subtle way of working a reference in myself.

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.)

I definitely find it easier to supply a missing end than a missing beginning. If I'm doing a crossword and the beginning of a word is missing I have to laboriously try different possibilities working my way through the alphabet, but a missing end will be instantly retrieved from wherever I store these things.

ceric

polymeric and of course generic...
I guess this thread must be a continuation of an earlier thread, surely these were mentioned! Sorry if that's the case, but I'm having fun.

*And what shall we call these two newly-discerned classes of wordophile?*
I'd like to recommend ambi-verbal, ventro-verbal and dorso-verbal.
