THE ANAGRAM CHALLENGE

Posted by Unknown On Friday, May 15, 2009 2 comments
An anagram is 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; e.g., orchestra = carthorse, Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one, A decimal point = I'm a dot in place. Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammatist. The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram.

Take a look at the following anagrams and then try to see how many words (minimum = three letter words) you can form with "adventure" (simplified version of anagram in that you don't need to use all the letters for each word).

E.g. ADVENTURE

* dare
* venture
* dune
* advent

etc.

NOTE: You can only use each letter once for each word. Please type your words in the comment box and let's see how many words you can make. Have fun and enjoy the weekend!
