An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.
Description
For example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag-a-ram.
Someone who creates anagrams may be called an "anagrammatist".
The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram.
Anagrams are often used as a form of mnemonic device as well.
Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram.
