Some words and phrases can be written using just spelled-out letter
sounds.
I am calling DVS (devious) those words that can be expressed as a
sequence of letters and digits, each pronounced separately. I have
arranged them here by length, shortest first, and within length in
alphabetical order. Some of them may not be actual words, but they
sound close enough for me :-)
Officially, they seem to be called Grammagrams.
Perhaps you got to this page by using a search engine and keying in
a few of your favorite grammagrams, and hoping to find more. If you
happen to have other grammagrams that are not on my list, please
consider emailing me with details. I would love to list those that
meet my approval, along with a mention of the source.
