BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 » Sherlock Anagrams

Ok this is a new game involving anagrams. What you are doing is you are taking each letter in the anagram, and you're unscrambling them, to make a phrase or a name, that relates to Sherlock Holmes and everything connected to that. It's like scrambles...you unscramble the anagrams to get the correct words or names.

Here is one example:

Anagram Run Rocks Shelter stands for 'Sherlock Returns'

If you have questions please post them here. . As the game progresses, I will let you try your hand at putting anagrams here. Google ANAGRAM SOLVERS online, and you'll find some good sites there to help you. For the first one, I will list how many words are in the answer. As we get more experienced, there may be no need for that. When you post your anagram, please tell us if it's a quote OR a name, and how many words are in the answer, ok? That's the main clue we need at first. Thank you and do have a lovertly one!!

~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the one to start off with. The answer is 2 words.

Anagram: Shrek Elm School

Have fun!!

I hoped the title of the topic would be an anagram itself. Sorry, I suck at anagrams myself so I'll just watch.

sherlockskitty · June 26, 2012 10:57 pm

Ok Dramagod But the title of this topic cannot be an anagram. sorry!!

"Dramagrod"? Don't you try and anagram me behind my back, girl. I know the title can't be turned into an anagram, I just thought it would've been awesome. Don't mind me, I should get to bed anyways.

Haha, don't worry about such a thing, kitty. I'm only messing with you. Even my father sometimes calls me by my older brother's name.

SHERLOCK HOLMES

How do you want this done Kitty? Can just the successful answered pose the next one or can anyone do the torturing?

sherlockskitty · June 27, 2012 4:06 pm

Kazza you are correct!! Do you want to post the next anagram? If not, I have one readylet us know here. .

Davina--I'd like to wait and see if other players know how to do anagrams. do you know how to do them? If not, I'll continue the 'torturing' for now. there are anagram makers and solvers online, if you know where to look. the one that I use is this one-- If you do the advanced one, you can choose what word you want in your anagram. that's how I got the word SHREK in there!! he's my favorite green ogre!!

I'll be back in a couple of hours.

In the meantime, here's a simple one. the answer is ONE word.

And Hung

Yay tobe's got an anagram. tobeornot221B Hmmmm...tobe, If the quote is three words, Is the first word mixed up in the letters of PERFECT? Nah..that would be a scramble. I just answered my own question, right? thank you for posting one!! I'm glad this thread is taking off. thanks for the clue, too..

Hint!! So---It's a quote of three words, and we HAVE used it in the Hangman game, and the first letter of the first word starts with the letter F.
