An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, rearrange "none" to get "neon".
It is not considered an anagram if you exchange a letter with the same letter. For example, switching the n's with each other in "noun" does not give an anagram.
Even though a word is not considered an anagram of itself, your task is to find a word that is an anagram of itself. If you can do the seemingly impossible once, you might as well find a second word that is an anagram of itself.

Guys... Read carefully
[your task is to find a word that is an anagram of itself.]
That is the 2nd part of the question! Can you do the impossible, and find a word that is an anagram of itself?

I feel like I am on Jeopardy. You give me an answer and I figure out the question. What is an anagram? is your question.

Just as a corollary to all this, the best anagram I have seen is "A man a plan a canal Panama" or the Garden of Eden one: "Madam, I'm Adam". Plenty more, if anyone wants to see them!

congrats to Wilson K.
I was surprised nobody else seemed to understand the problem. I didn't solve it in time myself. Wilson should get the 10 points.
