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; e.g., Silver-haired congenial scum : Louise is clever and charming. Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammist. Interestingly, the Roman name for the art of creating anagrams, "ars magna" (meaning "great art"), is an exact anagram of the word "anagrams".

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, Tony Blair's ~ a sly Briton,, George Herbert Walker Bush ~ Huge Berserk Rebel Warthog, or Somewhere Over the Rainbow ~ Worrisome However Beneath.
