That’s a more modern version. Q and Z were originally left off, which lets the numbers 2 through 9 have only three letters each. You wouldn’t find mnemonic numbers listed with those letters. Which was fine, because they aren’t common letters in English, anyway.

They got added when cell phone text messaging got big on flip phones. Then you had to have them.
