Anagrams

An anagram (gr. αναγραμματισμος, anagrammatismos, 'to rearrange letters') of a word is the result of rearranging the letters in that word, to form a new word or a phrase. It's a game with words that has been known since antiquity, and has been associated with numerology and mysticism. It was common in the Jewish kabbalistic tradition during the Middle-ages, but also in renaissance and baroque Europe. However, the main purpose of making anagrams is of course pure recreation.

In modern times, anagrams has been used by surrealist poets such as Andre Breton and Gunnar Ekelöf. One very common application of the anagram idea is the refrigerator magnet poetry kits, where each magnet in the kit corresponds to a certain word.

Word Play Cheats

Anagram generators like this can also be used for cheating in word puzzle games, such as Scrabble and WordFeud. Don't do that. It spoils the fun of word puzzles.
