The playful dog retrieved a ball that was thrown towards a house. The owner of the property worked at a petrol station on weekdays and a supermarket on weekends. His wife was planning a party for their five-year-old son. The games planned were musical chairs, and Jack in the box.

Acrostics function by taking the first letters of each word in a sentence, or the first letter of each line in a poem, and using them to create a new word or sentence.

The classic mnemonic device for remembering planets is another well-known example. Take the first letters of each planet in order and make a sentence with them as the first letters of each word. Although slightly modified of late it still works.
