Mnemonics Worksheet: Acronyms
Memory tip (One word, whole list): Write the list in order, take the first letter of each item and join them: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red → VIBGYOR. Check the order: MVEMJSUN (the planets from the Sun) is right; VMEMJSUN mixes up the first two. Learn what each letter means: in SWG (the Indian flag, top to bottom), letter 3, G, stands for green.
