Internet Anagram Server
What is an anagram? The Internet Anagram Server explains it: They write: What is an Anagram?
anagram (AN-uh-gram)
noun: A word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, Elvis to Lives.
verb: To rearrange letters in such a way. To anagrammatize.
You can enter any word you like into their form and it will produce an anagram for you.
[From Greek anagrammatismos, ana- (up, again, back, new) + -gram (letter).]
