		<description>Bronx Richie, this may be a better question for the &lt;a href=http://www.shakespeareteacher.com/blog/archives/382 rel="nofollow"&gt;artificial intelligence thread&lt;/a&gt;.

There is such a thing as anagram-making software, but I have never used it.  This is partly because I don't believe that a computer program can truly capture the art of matching the anagram's content aptly to that of the original text, and partly because they don't make it for the Mac.

I do use the &lt;a href=http://wordsmith.org/anagram/ target=blank rel="nofollow"&gt;Internet Anagram Server&lt;/a&gt; from time to time, but since it only allows you to enter around 30 characters at a time, it is of limited help.  It's good for generating suggestions of how to dispose of unusual letter combinations, or when you're down to around 10-20 unused letters and want to see if they form words unto themselves.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of time, determination, and love for the game.</description>

		<description>So Mr. Shakespeare Teacher, readers want to know - could there be anagram making software at work here?</description>
