Examples across the range

5 of the 591,388 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.

Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
