=== Significance of the number 22 === {{main|Catch-22#Title|Catch-22}} Heller originally wanted to call the phrase (and hence, the book) by other numbers, but he and his publishers eventually settled on 22. The number has no particular significance; it was chosen more or less for [[euphony]]. The title was originally ''Catch-18'', but Heller changed it after the popular ''[[Mila 18]]'' was published a short time beforehand.<ref name="Aldridge1986" /><ref name=Telegraph />
