Anagram Generators

An anagram is a very interesting thing and it can be very fun as well. It is a special type of wordplay that requires a lot of cunning to figure out. You have to really use your brain to come up with good anagrams and it takes a quick mind to be able to “decode” them as well. When people create an anagram, they take all of the letters in a word or sentence and rearrange them so that they say something else, real or fake. For instance, the word orchestra becomes
carthorse,
and

a decimal point

can become


I’m a dot in place.





Other examples include clever anagrams like


George Bush



becoming



he bugs Gore. William Shakespeare



can be made to say



I am a weakish speller.




The following anagram generators can help you come up with some really interesting and new anagrams.
