Historians suggest that anagrams actually originated in the 4th century BC, but weren’t commonly used until the 13th century AD when they were sometimes thought of as mystical. The only rule is that all the letters from the original word or phrase must be used when they’re reordered to say something entirely different. For example, "schoolmaster" can be turned into "the classroom", "punishments" becomes "nine thumps", and "debit card" turns into "bad credit". For instance, fans of the Harry Potter series know that Lord Voldemort’s full name is actually an anagram of his birth name, and some people even play games challenging one another to make anagrams still relevant to the original term.
On the other hand, you might be an expert at using anagrams and have fun with them when playing various word games and board games.Īnagrams are words or phrases you spell by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
Have you ever heard of an anagram? Maybe you recognize the term, but you’re not exactly sure what it means.
