Anagrams
An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging all the letters of another — every letter used once, nothing added or left out. 'Listen' becomes 'silent'; 'the eyes' becomes 'they see'. Anagrams are a favourite of puzzlers, poets, and crossword setters.
This guide collects satisfying anagrams, from simple everyday pairs (cat / act) to longer words with multiple solutions and clever phrase anagrams (astronomer / moon starer). Each entry shows the original word with every valid rearrangement we could find.
