Is an anagram defined as taking smaller words from letters of a long word?

Answer 1

anagram -
The re-arrangement of the letters of a word or sentence to produce a new form or a puzzle. Often an ingenious analogue to the original word can be found,
eg: total abstainers→sit not at ale bars.

here are some more examples:

DORMITORY: When you rearrange the letters: DIRTY ROOM

PRESBYTERIAN: When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER: When you rearrange the letters: MOON STARER

DESPERATION:When you rearrange the letters: A ROPE ENDS IT

THE EYES:! When you rearrange the letters: THEY SEE

GEORGE BUSH: When you rearrange the letters: HE BUGS GORE

THE MORSE CODE: When you rearrange the letters: HERE COME DOTS

Answer 2

no, an anagram is a word and then if you jumble the letters up to make a new word. For example: tea=ate=eat, Post=stop=tops=pots, trace=crate and so on.

Hope that helps you.

Answer 3

I means taking a word (or sometimes a phrase) and shuffling the letters to come up with ONE OR MORE words. Usually, if more than one word, you want a meaningful phrase not just 2 random words.

This was illustrated in "The da Vinci Code" - more so in the book than the movie.

Answer 4

a word or phrase spelled by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase
