Default What ever happened to the WORDS used in phone numbers?

These seemed to make it easier to remember phone numbers, and the words
were usually simple words that were easy to remember. The word was
assigned by the phone company. It seems they stopped doing this around
the mid 1960's. I wonder why they stopped?

Anyone know the reason?

Maybe the *******s wanted to charge extra for using a word prefix but the FCC wouldn't let them?
