Word-extraction
Word-extraction is a word-game created by J.R.R. Tolkien and described in a manuscript written c. 1968.
History
As a good philologist, Tolkien enjoyed word-games, and he played many times with his family while he stayed in Bournemouth. One of the games he invented there was written on the reverse of a cyclostyled list of out-of-print books dated 3 May 1968, which Tolkien gave at some point to Dr. Denis Tolhurst (Tolkien's doctor at Bournemouth) and his wife. The manuscript was sold at Bonhams in 2019, and is currently on sale at Lucius Books.
