I've got a major system peg list of a 100 English words, but even there it was hard to come up with a word for a concrete object for all the combinations. Can you really find concrete object names for all of the 1000 sound combinations? There's an online list, but it has words that aren't concrete objects and several of the words don't seem to actually encode right (eg. its word for 55 is 'hello', which has only a single L-sound, and isn't an object. Mine is 'lily')

This is what I did, and its far from complete, I took the rememberg list and copied it to a txt file and then uploaded it to an anki deck, then I went through each peg word to make sure I like it, if not I replace it.

Rememberg uses the typographic system which is why 'hello' is is 55. I personally prefer the phonetic system. Also, I wouldn't like 'hello', as 'lily' is so much better.
