Anagram:

 

Word(s) formed by rearranging the letters of other words. 

 

Example:          satin => stain

 

When creating an anagram, you must use all of the letters of the original word to create a new word or words.  You can cut a single word into multiple words, or make multiple words into a single word.  You can add spaces or punctuation marks.

 

Example:          more => Rome; or me; re-Om

 

The best anagrams use long words (or several words) and are translated into phrases with some meaning.

 

Examples:        

 

 

Anagramatic poem:

“Washington Crossing the Delaware”

by David Shulman

A hard howling tossing water scene
Strong tide was washing hero clean.

"How cold!" Weather stings as in anger.
O silent night shows war ace danger!

The cold waters swashing on in rage.
Redcoats warn slow his hint engage.

When general's star action wish'd "Go!"
He saw his ragged continentals row.

Ah, he stands--sailor crew went going
And so this general watches rowing.

He hastens--Winter again grows cold;
A wet crew gain Hessian stronghold.

George can't lose war with 's hands in;
He's astern--so, go alight, crew, and win!"
