A Catalogue of unique Fizz Buzz variations All variations involve people taking turns counting up from 1, but replacing certain numbers with words. I'm currently omitting variations that have the same formula as another but slightly different words. I'll post more as I find them. 1832 The Little Girl's Own Book by Lydia Maria Child Every number with a 7 in it or multiple of 7 is replaced with "Buz!" original source 1852 The Book of Children's Games by Constance Wakeford Long Every number with a 9 in it or multiple of 9 is replaced with "Fuzz" original source 1864 The Slang Dictionary by John Camden Hotten Every number with a 3 in it or multiple of 3 is replaced with "Snooks" and every number with a 5 in it or multiple of 5 is replaced with "Walker" original source 1867 The Home Book of Pleasure and Instruction by Mrs. R.
