A "DitLoID" è un tipo di puzzle di parola.

A “DitLoID” is a type of an alpha-numeric puzzle in which a phrase, fact, quotation, novel, quantity or a well known saying must be deduced from a set of numbers and letters in a clue.Common words such as 'the', 'in', 'a', 'an', 'of', 'to', etc. are not normally abbreviated.

The origin of the word 'ditloid' is apparently from a cryptic crossword clue which appeared several years ago in the UK Daily Express newspaper: 1 = DitLoID, whose answer was One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, which incidentally is a novel written by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

Eg. 12 M in a Y = 12 months in a year
