While rhyming peglists are simple to learn, they become ambiguous rather quickly as 11 rhymes with 7, 21 rhymes with 31 rhymes with 41, etc. The major system gives you a non-ambiguous way to generate as many pegs as you need.

  • If you have not done so already study the number section these pegwords will not make sense without doing so.
  • If you find any of these pegs difficult to remember, make up one of your own.
  • Do not expect to learn the entire list at once. Start with 10 or so. When you can memorize a list of 10 objects with them, learn 10 more and memorize a list of 20 items. Then learn 10 more and so on.
  • Once you have mastered 52 pegwords see the section on cards.
