Cute and funny mnemonics (21–30)
2574No accidents
I want to use this on a license plate! Let me introduce the idea of “2574 / jiko nashi” (no accidents).
If you have a chance to choose your number, such as when you buy your first car, this wordplay is highly recommended.
Even if you drive safely, the possibility of getting into an accident is scary.
With a bit of a protective charm in mind, try using “2574 / jiko nashi.” Every time the number catches your eye, it might tighten your focus and encourage even safer driving.
If you don’t have a special number in mind, this could be a great one to adopt.
4687white flower
There’s a number pun, 4687, that can be used to convey various messages.
It’s read as “shiroi hana” (white flower).
How about using it while thinking of the meanings associated with white flowers? For example, white lilies symbolize purity and nobility, and kalanchoe can express the wish to protect someone important.
There are many other meanings for white flowers, so try doing some research!
5963Good job.
I want to intentionally use a number pun! Here are some ideas for “5963,” which reads as gokurō-san, meaning “good job” or “thanks for your hard work.” Back when pocket pagers—small wireless beepers—were common, a culture emerged of expressing everyday messages through numeric wordplay.
Since this pun has been used since that era, it could be fun to use it on purpose in family chats.
You might even get a reply using a different number pun! It’s the kind of wordplay that can prompt conversation, like, “What does this mean?”
0030king
“0030” can be read as “king” in Japanese: 00 is pronounced ‘ou,’ 3 as ‘sa,’ and 0 as ‘ma,’ which together form ‘ousama’ (king).
You might not use the word ‘king’ often in daily life, but it could be fun to remember as a stylish expression.
Also, if you ever need to write something like “XX King” and feel that the character for king (王様) has too many strokes and is a hassle, writing “0030” is fine—at least in notes for your own eyes.
If you’re putting on a school festival play where a king appears, this could help you save time when jotting down notes.
1122Good couple
Recommended for anniversaries and the day you submit your marriage registration! Here are some ideas for “1122/Good Couple.” On social media and in the media, November 22 has become a standard “Good Couple Day.” It seems it began to take hold generally in the 2000s.
Thanks to its memorability and positive, forward-looking meaning, many people choose it for anniversaries or to submit their marriage paperwork.
It’s a play on numbers that makes you want to express gratitude and thoughtfulness to each other.
We hope it becomes a lovely day, full of cuteness and wrapped in love!
Auspicious Wordplay [Good Fortune & Luck] (1–10)
3096miracle
Judging from the meaning of the mnemonic itself, this is one of those number-word plays that feels like it could become a favorite.
Many people want to create miracles in their lives, so it would be great if those folks could use it in some form.
Using it for a car license plate or a bank PIN might boost your luck, and turning it into a lucky charm you wear could be nice, too.
Another plus is that, as a mnemonic, it feels more stylish than writing the thing outright.
1122Good couple
When you live together day in and day out, it’s easy to forget to feel grateful for your partner, isn’t it? November 22 was designated “Good Couple Day” in 1988.
The number 1122 doesn’t just stand for “good couple”; it’s also used in films and manga, and just seeing the number can evoke images of married life and the joys and struggles only couples understand.
Let this number be a reminder and an opportunity, even amid your busy days, to put into words the gratitude you feel precisely because you’re partners and share it with each other.
