What is an anagram? And some examples..?

Answer 1

An anagram (Greek ana- = "back" or "again", and graphein = "to write") is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once. Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammist.

Anagrams are often expressed in the form of an equation, with the equals symbol (=) separating the original subject and the resulting anagram. ‘Earth = heart’ is an example of a simple anagram expressed in that way. In a more advanced, sophisticated form of anagramming, the aim is to ‘discover’ a result that has a linguistic meaning that defines or comments on the original subject in a humorous or ironic way; e.g., Roll in the hay = Thrill a honey, Desperation = a rope ends it, Mother-in-law = woman Hitler, or Slotmachines = Cash lost in em. When the subject and the resulting anagram form a complete sentence, a tilde (~) is commonly used instead of an equal sign; e.g., Semolina ~ is no meal. or Somewhere Over the Rainbow ~ Worrisome However Beneath.

Here are many examples I found by some anagrammy.com winners.

Example Of An Anagram

Answer 3

So dark the con of man
is an anagram of:
madonna of the rocks

Both phrases contain the same letters but mixed up.

Answer 4

An anagram is using all the letters from one word or phrase to make another one. For example, an anagram of Mother-in-law would be Woman Hitler. (I stole this from Wikipedia...I thought it was funny.)

A more simple example would be earth/heart or ant/tan.

Answer 5

a mix of letters if put in the right order would mean something.
Consider ur Scrabble game choice of letters. they constitute a one word anagram. Generally the anagram is more than one word...kinda like a riddle with letters in the wrong order.

Answer 6

1 : a word or phrase made by transposing the letters of another word or phrase
2 plural but singular in construction : a game in which words are formed by rearranging the letters of other words or by arranging letters taken (as from a stock of cards or blocks) at random

i.e. what is anagram = 'A warm as hating' same letters different phrase
