  2. The Purpose of This Presentation • Is to define Anagrams, and provide some examples.

  3. Definition • An anagram is a rearrangement of the letters of one word or phrase to form another word or phrase. • Often the results are highly amusing and give deep insights into the text being anagrammed!

  4. Examples • A very simple example is rearranging the letters of "Evil" to get "Vile". • More advanced examples include rearranging "Clint Eastwood" as "Old West action.”
