Anagrams is a fast and friendly anagram finder.
The main design goal was to make it fun and easy to find interesting
anagrams for any given text.
The following example shows the result of entering some text (Albert Einstein),
clicking on "Find Usable Words", selecting the words IS and ART, then clicking
on "Find Anagrams" to generate all anagrams starting with those words:
Anagrams has a number of useful features:
- Various options can restrict the search for usable words and anagrams.
For example, you can specify that usable words must have between 3 and 6
letters and any anagrams must have from 2 to 4 words.
- While anagrams are being generated you can scroll up and down the list
and copy any interesting ones to the Clipboard (for pasting into your text
editor). If the Drag Manager is available then you can drag anagrams
straight into a drag-savvy editor such as SimpleText.
- The supplied dictionary of 40,000 words can be modified.
A dialog box lets you find, add or delete words.
You can also ask Anagrams to read a given text file and
automatically add any new words found; this is very handy for creating a
new dictionary from scratch.
- Save your favorite names and phrases in a "hot text" menu for later recall.
- You can build up a "tree" of selected usable words. All paths in the tree
are prefixes for potential anagrams. This is very useful when finding
anagrams for long phrases. Trees can be filed away for later recall.
- Detailed help is provided in the About Anagrams box.
The shareware fee for Anagrams is $15 for an individual or $150 for a group
(examples of a group include a user group or school).
This fee is a one-time-only payment that covers you or all members of
your group for all future versions.
