The key system that I use and that I published, is developing a visual key word based upon a numerical alphabet, where each word represents a number and a number will reflect you back to that particular word. The word tail, t-a-i-l is always a number 15, because 1 is a "t", "l" is a 5. That's a key system using a numerical alphabet. It's a matter of knowing exactly where those keywords lie. It's a mental filing system.
