Hello, People!
I missed Monday’s Meeting yesterday. Don’t ask. It was a strange kind of day for me.
So today I thought I would bring you some more fun with words. Last time it was Palindromes. Today it’s Anagrams! Aren’t we exciting? Don’t answer that.
I’m sure you are all familiar with anagrams but let me refresh your memories. An anagram is a word, name or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another, using each original letter only once. Some of the best ones I think are ones that manage to link the new word, name or phrase to the original one in some way, such as when ‘listen’ becomes ‘silent’.
Let’s see what I could come up with.
Astronomers = No more stars
Conversation = Voices rant on
The country side = No city dust here
If I wanted to see what I could do with my name “Jackie Phillips”…….. Jail Slick Eh Pip
Clint Eastwood = old west action
The check is in the mail = claim “heck I sent it (heh)”
snooze alarms = alas! no more z’s
William Shakespeare = Willie makes a phrase
To Breathe is to Write = a tot be shortie write
the detectives = detect thieves
debit card = bad credit
vacation times = I’m not as active
That’s just a few I found or made. I bet you have some to add to the list! Let me know.
You are so smart and creative. I am too impatient to play.

You guys are too smart for me. I’d have to look them up online and steal them from there.
Oh, wait! I tried it with Susan Hunter.
Susan Hunter = She runs a nut
I have no idea what that means, but it works. 🙂
