What is a Surpassing Phrase™?
Answer
A Surpassing Phrase™ is one where consecutive pairs of letters in each word get farther apart in the alphabet. For example:
su up pe er rb / su ub bw wa ay
2 5 11 13 16 / 2 19 21 22 24
but not:
ex xc ce el ll le en nt / tr ra ai in
19 21 2 7 0 7 9 6 / 2 17 8 5
The name comes from each successive distance between letters "surpassing" the previous one.
