AG Anagram is an app for discovering anagrams. An anagram is a reordering of the letters in a word, phrase, or name. For example: Elvis — Lives Dormitory — Dirty room Twelve plus one — Eleven plus two Choir man — Harmonic Debit card — Bad credit AG Anagram makes it easy to discover new anagrams of your own. Simply enter a word, phrase, or name into the search box and tap Search. AG Anagram will search for anagrams of the text you entered and display them in a scrolling list. Try anagramming your own name, or the names of friends and family. For more variety, try them with and without middle names. There is no need to choose the number of words the anagrams should contain ahead of time — AG Anagram will automatically find anagrams containing any number of words, and since anagrams consisting of fewer words tend to be pithier, those are shown first. All you need to do is to pick out the best ones, and possibly improve on the ordering of the words. For example, if you type in "a gentleman", AG Anagram will show you a list of anagrams that includes "man elegant", but you could improve on this by changing the order of the words to "elegant man". AG Anagram uses a dictionary of English words, so even though you may enter non-English words, the anagrams will be in English.
