Acrostic

An acrostic is a type of poem or word puzzle where certain letters in each line—usually the first—spell out a hidden word, name, or phrase when read vertically. While often associated with school projects, acrostics have a rich history dating back to ancient times and were used by famous authors like Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allan Poe.
