What is an Anagram?

An anagram is a pair of words, phrases or sentences that are spelled with the same set of letters. For example, the following two words are spelled with the same letters: "tan" and "ant." Much more complicated anagrams are possible, and the most interesting are when the two are relevant to each other.

• conversations: voices rant on
• debit card: bad credit
• a gentleman: elegant man
• desperation: a rope ends it
• protectionism: nice to imports
• the Morse code: here come dots
• stormy weather: showery matter
