Introduction

Anagrams:

A term or phrase that has been formed by changing the characters of yet another phrase or a word is called an anagram. Every letter from the old word or phrase must appear exactly once in the new word or phrase.

The word "silence" can be created by rearranging the word "listen," for instance. "Lives" can be created by rearranging "Elvis." Rearranging "a gentleman" results in an "elegant man." The new word or phrase in each instance is an inversion of an original term or phrase.

Throughout poems and literature throughout history, anagrams have been utilized as a fascinating method to experiment with words. Some people enjoy creating anagrams as a puzzle or as a creative exercise, while others use them as a tool for mnemonic devices, such as creating an anagram of a long word to help remember it.
