Ditloid
6 Answers
What on earth is a ditloid? At 58 years of age, I got an A and A* for English Language but I have never heard of the word ditloid. It is not in any of my dictionaries.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote a famous novel entitled 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich'. This gives the notion of 1 = DITLOID. Thus the word was chosen by a newspaper - the 'Daily Express', I believe - to represent puzzles of the sort: "What does 7 = DIAW mean?" It clearly means: "7 = Days in a week." It will doubtless appear in dictionaries eventually.
