anagram
Rearranged letter puzzle
An anagram rearranges the letters of a word or phrase to form a different word or phrase: "listen" becomes "silent," "astronomer" becomes "moon starer." The term also applies to the result itself.
Anagrams range from wordplay to puzzle clues to pseudonyms: Lewis Carroll is an anagram of Charles Lutwidge.
