Who out there loves word puzzles? I am working on some jumbles where you have to unscramble words in order to find the letters to answer a clue.

In the meantime, I thought we might try some anagrams- scrambling the letters of a word or phrase to make new ones. For example: "Parliament" becomes "Partial men" and "Clint Eastwood" becomes "Old West Action".

Your mission, if you decide to accept, is to identify as many different anagrams as possible. Then, in a few of days, after everyone has had a chance to play, I will list the possibilites. Sound like fun?

If you like, we can keep score from week to week. At the end of the month, I will donate a couple FQ's. I really need to downsize my stash and this would allow me to share some of the beautiful fabrics I have collected/inherited.


Here is the first phrase: CUTTING MAT

Here is a hint: there are 53 possible anagrams

Did anyone try this? How many did you find?

I got 1 Meg! Cut matting!

how about: acting mutt

I hope someone has more time than I do to figure out all 53 possibilities.... but I would like to see a list of the possibilities when this is over with..... if that is possible...

Oh, wow! I didn't know anyone had even tried this!?! Now I've got to go find my list- don't think it's still on the desk.
