What is an ANAGRAM?
As usual, wikipedia provides the answer;
An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.
Meaning, any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram.
Example:
The letters in the word GARDEN can be rearranged to form the anagram, DANGER.
An anagram can be created manually or by-hand but is too taxing and time-consuming. I searched online for an anagram creator software and the best I could find is the Anagram Genius. You can download a free trial version at their website here.
I immediately toyed with it and naturally entered my full name first.
After clicking on the search button, a number of phrases appeared but most are incomprehensible. I weeded out one phrase which stood out.
“Halo on a hairy thinker.” I think that pretty much describes me.
I’m hairy because I’m “balbon”, I’m a thinker because I’m an intellectual and I have a halo because I’m an angel. Hehehe… Oops! Wala’ng papalag, blog ko ito!
I tried with other names and these are what I found:
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo – I’m a derogatory or appealing rascal.
Vice-President Noli de Castro – Vendetta inspires crocodile.
Joseph Ejercito Estrada – Rejected as a poorish jet.
Do the anagrams match with the personality of those people? Hehehe… I had fun with it. Try it also.

Reading about Anagrams reminds me about the movie ‘Da vinci code’
What an artistic movie it was ?
Do you guys remember there was an anagram in this movie ? Can you recall it ?
Ok, i ll tell you…
It was “O, Draconian devil” And remember what it meant ?

Anagrams are a part of our life. Sometimes they are just for fun but sometimes they have a deep cryptic meaning !!
