An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; for example, the word anagram can be rearranged into nag-a-ram. Someone who creates anagrams may be called an "anagrammatist". The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram. Anagrams are often used as a form of mnemonic device as well.
Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram. However, the goal of serious or skilled anagrammatists is to produce anagrams that in some way reflect or comment on the subject.
Such an anagram may be a synonym or antonym of its subject, a parody, a criticism, or praise. It sometimes changes a proper noun or personal name into a sentence, such as with William Shakespeare = I am a weakish speller or Madam Curie = Radium came. It sometimes changes a noun into a verb, such as with the example "silent" which can be rearranged to "listen". It can also rearrange a noun into a noun, such as with incest = insect.

Young The Giant - Anagram (FOX Uninvited Guest)
I open the box and there's candlelight,
The snake holds on, but now I can fight.
Suffer, or let it go,
Then take it away, 'cause no one knows.
This is hurt,
The meaning of pain.
One chance,
No means to start again.
If everyone lives,
Nobody learns.
Nobody learns.
Once again I dream alone,
I stand here broke, departed.
I look at you and see myself,
The fire in your eyes.
Now I'm sleeping under pressure, I can't sleep.
Seeking through mess, you blame me.
If the fire goes away, I can't see.
Should have fucked the rest and you shouldn't blame me.
Now focus what I want to be,
Knowledge is power, I can't breathe.
Never find a way, stuck with the same name, same game,
And I'm nothing to me.
Once again I dream alone,
I stand here broke, departed.
I look at you and see myself,
The fire in your eyes.
And in my dream I'm on my knees,
I say to God this ain't what I wanted to be.
He turns and says to me:
