- I’ve turned my numbers into vivid words, but they still come back out of order and bleed into each other
- I’ve heard you can turn numbers into words to remember them, but every time I try I’m stuck looking up which sound goes with which digit, and the constant referring-back is so slow the whole thing falls apart before it helps.
- A bare string of digits evaporates from my head the instant I look away, but a word I can picture sticks
- I’m trying to hold really long number sequences and even word-by-word encoding leaves me with too many separate pieces to keep straight
- Long strings of digits
