How do you get all the words on an anagram?

Answer 1

To solve an anagram, you rearrange the letters you are given to form another word or phrase. If you are asking about the process of solving anagrams, I am sure there are many processes that work. Some people can look at the letters and mentally "see" the answer. Sometimes that works well, especially when the anagram is short.

For example, the anagram of the word "on" is "no." It is simple. When the anagrams are harder, I often list all the vowels in order and all the consonants in order.

Like this: a, e f, h, r, t

Then I start thinking of possible combinations. Immediately the word "effort" pops into my mind, but that can't be right because effort has two 'f's", no "a" and no "h." I keep trying combinations It can't be "therefore" because I would need an "o" and more "e's." Aha, finally I see that the anagram is "father." I solve it through trial and error.

My way is only one way of solving anagrams. There are many ways and combinations of ways that will occur to you as you are trying to solve them.

Answer 2

ANSWER: Just move around the words and keep track of your combinations. Just try to think of words that use similar letters.

ANSWER: I use a pencil and paper. I write the word down, look for any one word, write that word under the original letters and cross out the letters used. If I don't see another real word in the letters left over, I look for another possible word in the letters. When I spot one, I write that under the last one and cross our all the letters used.

As I do this, moving the letters around in different combinations, I can usually can find the anagram word even if it takes ten to twenty tries.

To answer anagram questions on this site, I use the same method except I type the letters (sometimes with s p a c e s between the letters) in the blank answer box, look for a word, type that word under the original letters and backspace over the letters used in the original group of letters.

Answer 3

The easiest way I know is by using Andy's anagram solver. This is found as an attached link.

Please note that there are dozens of anagram and Scrabble solvers on line. They are really helpful but they do have their limitations. Any words they provide that you don't recognize should be checked with dictionaries. They sometimes give a misspelled version of a word, slang, and real words that are so obscure that few people, if any, could use them in sentence. Many will not give you the legitimate words 'a' and 'I'. When you use an on line anagrammer, also use your own knowledge.
