What Is an Anagram?
An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
For example, the letters in LISTEN can be rearranged to make SILENT.
Anagrams are common in word games, spelling puzzles, crosswords, and vocabulary activities. They help you look at letters in a new way and discover words you may not see at first.
Examples of Anagrams
LISTEN can become SILENT
EAST can become SEAT, EATS, or TEAS
STONE can become TONES, NOTES, or ONSET
