An anagram transposes the letters of a common word or phrase to form another word or phrase with some relevance to the original (e,g. Astronomer into Moon Starer). A book for word-lovers, this Dictionary of Anagrams is arranged alphabetically and covers approximately 20,000 words, including proper names, with all their known anagrams. It is an essential reference source for crossword puzzle enthusiasts, Scrabbleı players and aficionados of all manner of word games. The dictionary also includes a brief history of anagrams from the Ancient Greeks and the Romans to the present day and explains why they came to be invested with mystical properties and associations.
