Did you know…?
Anagrams have existed since the ancient Greeks.

[Websters International @Websters_Intl]

Earliest anagrams in English would take advantage of non-standardised spelling, swapping letters as required. Perfect anagrams as we know them today only came into existence following the advent of dictionaries and agreed spelling formats.

[Websters International @Websters_Intl]

The difference between LISTEN and SILENT is simply how you arrange the letters.
The same is true of Duagram.

Today is Remembrance Day 🌺 Did you know? The tradition of wearing poppies comes from the poem In Flanders Fields, written by John McCrae in 1915. It describes red poppies growing among soldiers’ graves, symbolising life amidst war's devastation.
