Description
Anagrams—the art of rearranging letters in one word to make another—have been around for centuries. Now, you can have the power of this important medium in the palm of your hand.
Astound your friends when you point out that 'App Store,' rearranged spells 'pesto rap,' or that iPhone, rearranged, spells 'hip one.' There are better ones, but it's up to you to pick up the Anagram Machine and find them.
What’s New
Version 2.1
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Support for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and minor improvements.
Ratings and Reviews
This app sucks — period. Too bad you can’t give it a zero.
I had an app called Anagrams on my Mac Plus — running on MacOS 6 or 7, over 40 years ago! — which was awesome. It would take a few words or names and output a non-repeating list of anagrams, carefully organized by word length (longest to shortest, then alphabetically) using up all of the letters. Only anagrams that used all the letters were displayed — no orphan letters.
I put in my GF’s full name in and came up with hundreds, from which I selected an entire page full of hilarious combos. Here are just 3 good’uns that I can recall offhand:
President’s gamely aroma
Alas, do sperm gyrate in me?
Playmates garrisoned me
This iPhone version is pure garbage. I put in the same 3 names as above and got an endless stream of random junk, probably with the same groups repeated many times, and every single one included the word “alines”. (Is that even a word?) That’s likely why it doesn’t work. It doesn’t recognize that simple fact that it has previously found a combo or used a word, and just randomly churns out words it finds. What a waste of precious silicon.
Doesn't work
iPad or iPhone, it just outputs blue dots, not words. :(
