What is an ANAGRAM?
I've had it 'up to here' with puns. For a little while anyway.
So let's try it with a few of the above mentioned.
There are, to the best of my knowledge, two types of Anagrams.The easier one is the one where one constructs a new word or a new sentence out of all the letters of an existing word or sentence, irrespective of the meaning of the second creation.
The second and rarer one consist of the construction of a word or a sentence, out of the letters of the existing word or sentence, but, and that's a big But, the new creation must have the same or similar meaning as the original one.
Have I now confused you totally?
So let's look a an example of the second kind.
The letters of the word: "ASTRONOMERS" can be re-arranged to read: "MOON STARERS." You get it? Astronomers: Moon starers
or an other good one:
"CLOTHESPINS" can be arranged to "SO; LET'S PINCH" -

So, come up with some of those Anagrams.
