Anagrams
What
is an Anagram?
Noun:
A word or
phrase spelled
by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
Verb:
Read letters
out of order
to discover a hidden meaning.
The
WordsWorth Compendium
Software can provide all the possible anagrams of any number of letters
up to 18 letters long.
Search
for Anagrams of a Word or Phrase.
Inputting a
string of letters
triggers off a search for words, having that number of letters, which
are
anagrams of the string.
The results
are not restricted
to single words of such length; many phrases are also found which
contain
the same number of letters in total.
As an example,
the alphword
AEMNORSTY will find not only MONASTERY and OYSTER-MAN but also ARMY
NOTES
and YET NO ARMS among the 39 results displayed.
This
example also shows one
other feature adopted by the Compendium; the use of uppercase (capital
) letters for all database entries. The reason for this is two-fold; to
maintain true alphabetical order between common and proper
names,
e.g. Phoenix
and phoenix,
as well as the duplication of such words.
The input of
all alphabetic
lowercase characters in any of the
options will
be automatically
be converted to uppercase.
