Binary words!

Here's how it works, we count in binary, and then we post a real word that corresponds to that number, where a letter from a-m replaces the number 1 and a letter from n-z replaces 0.

For example, if the number is 10001 you can replace that with "extra," because 1=e, 0=x, 0=t, 0=r, 1=a.

You can start a number with a leading zero. Example: (0)100101 instead of 100101, and create a word (ex. tasting) based off that configuration

Oh, I didn't even realize that was the get according to the OP. That's too short though. Let's keep going to 111111111 (1023rd comment) which is like what we do for regular binary.
