Anagram
An anagram is a form of word play that rearranges the letters of the original word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase only using the original letters once.
According to some historians, anagrams originated in the 4th century BC with the Greek poet Lycophron who use them to flatter the rich and mighty. Other sources suggest that Pythagoras, in the 6th century BC, used anagrams to discover deep philosophical meanings. The use of anagrams became widespread in the Middle Ages.
