Anagram: a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.

Fun facts about anagrams:

Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammist.

The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram.

The goal of serious or skilled anagrammists is to produce anagrams which, in some way, reflect or comment on the subject.

Anagrams were popular throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, although it is widely believed the art of anagramming was invented by the Greek poet Lycophron.
