What is the double-digit peg list, and how is each word built?

A fixed word for every number 00–99: two coded consonants (one per digit) wrapped in free vowels — the backbone for memorizing long numbers two digits at a time.

Each peg encodes its two digits as two consonant sounds, in order, with vowels and h/w/y as free filler:

• 47 → /r/·/k/ → rake
• 32 → /m/·/n/ → moon

To memorize a long number, chunk it into pairs, recall each pair's peg image, and link the images into a vivid story. The 100 words below are a widely-used community peg list (from the Art of Memory forum), picked for imageability — concrete, picturable nouns stick far better than abstract ones. Drill them until each number instantly flashes its picture, and watch the sound-not-spelling cases (silent letters, soft vs hard c/g, s that sounds like z) flagged where they appear.
