According to [this wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing), _Constrained writing_ is a literary technique in which the writer is bound by some condition that forbids certain things or imposes a pattern. The same link also provides examples of constrained writing. I will mention a few for reference: > Ernest Vincent Wright's _Gadsby_ (1939) is an English-language novel consisting of 50,000 words, none of which contain the letter "e". > > _let me tell you_ (2008), a novel by the Welsh writer Paul Griffiths, uses only the words allotted to Ophelia in _Hamlet_. How do readers come to know about used and hidden constrained a work has used? Do authors openly promote or do marketing of the same? What is the proper way to notify readers from the work itself that it has used some constraint?
