Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good anagram?
A good anagram maintains some connection to the original meaning while creating something new and interesting. The best anagrams are those that reveal hidden meanings or create clever wordplay, like "astronomer" becoming "moon starer."
Can I create anagrams with spaces and punctuation?
Yes! Our generator can preserve spaces to create phrase anagrams, or you can remove spaces to focus purely on letter rearrangement. Punctuation is typically ignored in anagram creation to focus on the alphabetic content.
How does the scoring system work?
Our scoring system evaluates anagrams based on word validity (real dictionary words get higher scores), readability, and meaningful combinations. Multi-word phrases that make grammatical sense receive bonus points.
What's the maximum length for anagram generation?
While there's no strict limit, very long phrases (over 20-30 characters) may have fewer meaningful results. For optimal results, try words or short phrases. The generator works best with 3-15 character inputs.
Can I add my own custom words to check against?
Absolutely! Use the custom word list feature to add specialized vocabulary, proper nouns, or domain-specific terms. This is especially useful for technical fields, brand names, or specialized puzzle creation.
