It's National Scrabble Day and do you know what that means? It means we get to play some word games. Yes, scrabble.

Today, the 13th day of April 2026, we'd start with anagrams. Scrabble involves anagramming as well.

So what are anagrams?
Anagrams are words formed by rearranging the letters of one string to form another.

For words to be considered to be an anagram:

1. They must have the same characters and same frequency. For instance, both S M A R T and M A R T S have the exact letters A, M, R, S, and T.
2. Their lengths must be equal. That is to say, both S M A R T and M A R T S have the exact five letters A, M, R, S, and T.

Are you ready?

In this game, I'd give you 5 words. You'd have to guess the anagram for each word. You can choose to pick just one word. However, know that the more words you pick, the merrier it becomes.

It's not a contest. It's just something to have some fun with right here on Steemit.

Check this out!

1. ALERTS
2. SPARE
3. STARE
4. RAINED
5. RETINA

I'd go first by listing out 3 anagrams for the first word. We have ALERTS.

TARSEL
ALTERS
SALTER

Rules of the game

• Words in the lexicons CSW24 and NWL2023 are valid.
• Everyday English words are accepted as well.
• No acronyms.
• No slangs and short forms.

The goal of the game is to help participants grow their vocabulary. As writers, it will be useless if we learn slangs that might never make it up to the posts we publish on Steemit. 😉

Please invite your friends as well. Let's keep the ball rolling.
