lipogram \LIP-uh-gram, LAHY-puh-\,
noun:

I suddenly felt possessive of our boat, our game, a travel set with tiny magnetic letters. "Our board is missing a few tiles," I said. "Just makes it more of a challenge…a lipogram."
-- Gayle Brandeis ," Delta Girls: A Novel," 2010
So the poet whose hunger is simply to speak—tell truths, right wrongs—what need has he for the lipogram, for colors of rhetoric, antilibrations of phrase on phrase?
-- John Gardner, "Jason and Medeia," 1973
Lipogram entered English at the turn of the 18th century from the Greek lipográmmatos meaning "missing a letter."
