Are you impressed with yourself? You should be. Having read them only once, you’ve remembered ten items forward, backward, and inside out.

The Peg Words are an extension of the places or “loci” idea mentioned at the beginning of the book. You’ve arrived at them slowly, step by step. The simple memory aids helped you to remember the sounds of the phonetic alphabet, the sounds themselves helped you to remember the Peg Words, and the Peg Words made it easy to remember ten random items. Obviously, the better you know the Pegs, the faster you’ll be able to memorize a Peg list, as you just did.

But what if you have to remember eleven items, or twelve, or twenty? No problem. Knowing the phonetic alphabet enables you to make up Peg Words for any number. You can’t picture the number 11, but you can picture a tot, a young child. And the word tot can only represent the number 11, because it has the t and t sounds, 1 and 1.

The Peg Word for 12 is tin; picture a tin can, or see the item at that position made of tin.

Then come:

13. tomb; picture a gravestone.

14. tire

15. towel

16. dish

17. tack

18. dove

19. tub

20. nose
