ADD A LETTER
What is an anagram? According to the Collins English Dictionary an anagram is a word or phrase the letters of which can be rearranged into another word or phrase. The word stems from New Latin anagramma, shortened from Greek anagrammatismos, from anagrammatizein to transpose letters, from ANA- + gramma a letter.
Instructions:
You are given a word in which you have to rearrange the letters and also add another letter to make another word.
For example: add a letter to dear and you will have something to eat (answer: bread ). Notice how the word 'dear' is rearranged to 'read' and the letter 'b' has been added?Now try some yourself. It may seem hard at first but you'll get better the more you do. When you've done the examples listed below try making some yourself and share these with friends and family members. How many can they make? Have fun!
