What do these images have to do with anagrams?
Today I was cleaning out the last box of stuff I moved into my office at work...and I found a funny letter from an old friend written in anagram code (addressed to "stealthy lepers" or "pretty sea shells") - and I remembered how much I had loved anagrams as a child...I would puzzle for hours on the task of creating them...only to find out that, oddly enough, my grandfather had had the same fascination before I was born. Nowadays, all you need is google - check out this free trial of anagram genius - a program that does all the work for you:
