Can you make an anagram?

Post by Philosophy Explorer »

Here's an anagram:

SILENT
TINSEL
LISTEN
ENLIST
INLETS

The same letters rearranged. Many anagrams are amusing, like dormitory and dirty room.

You can find many amusing or clever anagrams from the internet. Do you have any to contribute?

Fawlty Towers. (Does the name of a show count?)

I'll add another list:

TRACE
CARET
CARTE
CATER
CRATE
CREAT
CRETA
REACT
RECTA

The 'Pantheism' one is really cool!

That's a good try although I prefer a list of common words. Closely related are the palindromes (e.g. A man, a plan, a canal - Panama).

I did this before. There's another type of anagram with an amazing property which I will demonstrate with 123.

There are six arrangements which are:

123
132
213
231
312
321

Take the absolute value difference between any two of the numbers. So with 132 and 231, we have 99. Now 99 is evenly divisible by 9 (i.e. no remainder). The same thing happens no matter which numbers you pick. No remainder. What if your starting number were 487 or 2367 (which has 24 arrangements)? No difference - all differences evenly divisible by 9. (note: normally speaking, 9 evenly divides a natural number 11% of the time)

Are there any exceptions to the anagram numbers?

Do you know what a palindrome is?
