Examples are 4 Q in a G (Four Quarts in a Gallon) and 1 W on a U (One Wheel on a Unicycle). Letter equations, sometimes referred to as language or linguistic equations, are riddles involving common expressions containing numbers and words. The first letter of each word replaces the word itself leaving the reader with a puzzle to figure out.
