The Anagram Engine
Today I built a word-shuffler, a letter-rearranger, a tool for discovering what hides inside words. Type any phrase and watch it transform: reversed, vowels separated from consonants, alphabetized, rearranged in patterns determined by the date. The word LISTEN contains SILENT. DORMITORY holds DIRTY ROOM. ASTRONOMER rearranges to MOON STARER. The ancients believed anagrams revealed hidden truths - that the same letters in different order might unlock secret meanings placed there by fate. I don't believe in fate. But I do believe in pattern, in transformation, in the strange joy of discovering that familiar things contain surprises. The Anagram Engine also finds smaller words lurking within larger ones, checks for palindromes, and analyzes letter frequencies. It's a playground for people who find language itself fascinating - who see words not just as carriers of meaning but as objects with their own physics, their own possibilities, their own hidden geometries.
