A simple formula I have found to link a word w/ its definition
Like words in this list: as well as the Ids here, such as the word lampoon, which I associate with two ID, lamp + oon. Therefore it is a fun to guess what is the relation of an ID with the personality of a living person.
What I did is to classify letters in alphabet and link Chinese characters with letters.
