# What is a CirKle Word™?

This is in the spirit of the What is a Word/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.

If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a CirKle Word™.
Use the following examples below to find the rule.

$$% set Title text. (spaces around the text ARE important; do not remove.) % increase Pad value only if your entries are longer than the title bar. % \def\Pad{\P{0.0}} \def\Title{\textbf{ CirKle }} % \def\S#1#2{\Space{#1}{20px}{#2px}}\def\P#1{\V{#1em}}\def\V#1{\S{#1}{9}} \def\T{\Title\textbf{Words}^{\;\!™}\Pad}\def\NT{\Pad\textbf{Not}\T\ }\displaystyle \smash{\lower{29px}\bbox[yellow]{\phantom{\rlap{rubio.2019.05.15}\S{6px}{0} \begin{array}{cc}\Pad\T&\NT\\\end{array}}}}\atop\def\V#1{\S{#1}{5}} \begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline\Pad\T&\NT\\\hline % \text{ WED }&\text{ FRI }\\ \hline \text{ LAB }&\text{ OFFICE }\\ \hline \text{ HOT }&\text{ COLD }\\ \hline \text{ MIDI }&\text{ USB }\\ \hline \text{ CAR }&\text{ BIKE }\\ \hline \text{ RED }&\text{ BLUE }\\ \hline \text{ ARE }&\text{ WERE }\\ \hline \text{ EARED }&\text{ EARING }\\ \hline \text{ BAD }&\text{ GOOD }\\ \hline \text{ BIG }&\text{ SMALL }\\ \hline \end{array}$$

And, if you want to analyze, here is a CSV version:

• why are all the words so short?? – Omega Krypton Aug 23 '19 at 10:16
• Why would you put commas before the spaces rather than after, in the CSV? – David Conrad Aug 23 '19 at 19:08
• @DavidConrad I just copy & paste from the table :P – Conifers Aug 24 '19 at 2:07
• @OmegaKrypton Check the answer you'll find why :P – Conifers Aug 24 '19 at 3:24

It seems like all CirKle words

When written as numbers (A=1, B=2, etc.) appear in the first 1000 digits of $$\pi$$.

Example

$$WED \rightarrow (23,5,4) \rightarrow 2354$$ and the digits $$2354$$ appear in that order in the first 1000 digits of

$$\pi =$$3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510

Meaning of the name

$$\pi$$ is the constant associated with the circle (ratio of circumference to diameter) and $$K$$ is synonymous with $$1000$$.
