An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once. For example, the word anagram can be rearranged into "naga ram". Or for example, the word binary can be rearranged into "brainy".

The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram. Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram. Someone who creates anagrams may be called an "anagrammatist", and the goal of a serious or skilled anagrammatist is to produce anagrams that reflect or comment on their subject.

For example:

anagram- nag a ram

dormitory- dirty room

astronomer- moon starer

punishments- nine thumps

country side- no city
