## What is Anagraphs?

Anagraphs, an anagram finding puzzle with a twist, is a free new game that extends the concept of anagrams by including letters that can be rotated to make other characters. In a typical anagram the letters can be re-arranged to form new words ("ma" and "am" for example) but in Anagraphs, the "m" character can be rotated to form a 'w' which allows for the word "aw" to be included. 

Built with a specially designed font with several characters that can be rotated in such a way, Anagraphs is a challenging linguistic puzzle where you must optimize paths to earn stars used to unlock new levels. Anagraphs is a spiritual successor to the popular word game, Synonymy.

Anagraphs is open source and available on GitHub. It is made by Cinq-Mars Media, an educational non-profit with projects and games featured at E3, PAX and other festivals worldwide.

### 5/5 — Hmm

*2023-05-25*

This is a game.

And that’s what I wanted.
So, yeah

### 1/5 — Completely unplayable

*2021-05-03*

Tapping a character sometimes flips that character, sometimes also flips other characters, sometimes flips nothing. Undo sometimes undoes, sometimes doesn’t (but does give your turn back).

It seems that undoing causes a mismatch between the actual state of the game, and what it appears it is. The state is revealed when you try to drag a character only to have them flip as well. 

Or it’s something else causing random character flips constantly. 

As it stands right now, you can’t play the game.

**Developer response:** Hi there -- I'm the lead developer and am terribly sorry about this. Thanks very much for letting us know: try as I might, I cannot replicate any of what you describe. Would you be willing to share your iOS version and device? Are there any other insights you could share where I could try and replicate the problem? Obviously I want to get this fixed asap - we also want to try and make it up to you - please contact us at info@cinqmarsmedia.com and we'd be delighted to share codes/keys for our other games. Thanks again!

### 5/5 — Twistin... twistin...

More challenging than it looks, but still fun!
