1add more details. Should we be reading input from standard in? from the command line? or can this just be a function that takes something and returns something? You might also linking "acrostic poem" to its wikipedia page because people are lazy. – Wug – 2012-08-28T18:03:11.583
2You are going to get panned for your subjective winning criteria (I wonder how the admin's think contests like the IOCCC are judged...). I'd recommend you add some guidelines that people should use to judge on whether or not to give their upvotes or not. – Griffin – 2012-08-28T18:56:18.927

Nice word play: if you shuffle the letters of “acrostic”, you will get “costirca”, which is a possible spelling of my surname... – Andreï Kostyrka – 2016-12-03T12:37:41.400
