lipogram

A lipogram is a type of writing or composition where the author intentionally avoids using a particular letter or group of letters. This constraint challenges the writer’s creativity and language skills, often resulting in unique and inventive texts. For example, a poem written without the letter "e" demonstrates the lipogram form. This literary device can be used for artistic expression, humor, or to explore language boundaries. Lipograms showcase how much meaning and variety can be achieved despite deliberate restrictions on specific characters within the alphabet.
