ERG

by Sharon D. Smith

The word Erg means 'work', according to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. This poetry puzzle is designed to spur motivation, encouragement and creativity. Word permutations are what it is all about.

Words that can be reassembled from a set of phrases that I have especially chosen to reinforce and embed confidence in any person of any age.

The words can be realigned in any order to create a new phrase. It sounds difficult but there are only 9 words in the poetry puzzle.

Poem as follows:

I CAN SUCCEED

WE WILL PROGRESS

YOU MUST ACHIEVE

Example:

1. I will achieve
2. You will succeed
3. We must achieve
4. We can progress
5. I must achieve
6. You will progress
7. We will succeed
8. You can achieve
9. I will progress
10. We must progress

There are numerous other word permutations to be made, good luck and have fun!

Word Buff — Sharon also asked me a question I don't have the answer to. So if any of you word buffs out there can answer it for her, it would be terrific if you could post it as a comment below.

Here is her question...

I am trying to determine exactly how many phrases can be created using this puzzle. Can you suggest how this can be done via a software source?
