First things first, I’d like to say hello as I have just joined the community. Onto the topic, I’ve noticed that there is no talk (or at least none I’ve seen) of using the marble patterns to generate words. I’ve been trying to find some ways, and would like some assistance. I have 3 different goals. (If there is a 
then that means I know it’s possible)
1: Form any single word
2: Form a collection if words (minimum 3, at least 3 letters each)
3: Make a setup that can form any letter
There are currently 3 base systems, which you can use to base your ideas (if you want to find your own or find them yourself skip to the replies)
Unary: Uses red marbles as letters and blue marbles as separation
-1 blue = letter separation
-2 blue = word separation
-1-26 red = A-Z
Binary: Uses red and blue marbles to make words, uses a select bit for letter separation (no word separation)
-A-Z = same as Morse Code
-Each time the select bit ticks, it’s a new letter
Keyboard: Uses interceptors as “keys”. like a keyboard. 3 ways to do this: (the first 2 of them may not possible with a standard board size)
- Use 26 interceptors (1 per letter)
- Use 13 interceptors (first 13 letters blue, next 13 red)
- Use 11 interceptors (2 of them have a 3rd both color option for Y and Z)
That’s everything I had to say on this topic.
