A Play with Words
Posted: 10 Jan 2018 23:06
Rearrange the letters in words to discover how words self-define themselves.
Creativity, it could be said, consists of largely rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know.
Rearrangement usually offers countless alteratives for ideas, goods and services, for example a baseball manager
can shuffle his line up 362,880 times.
Take ordinary words and rearrange the letters to create new words that will surprise and startle you.
Examples:
Astronomer- when letters rearranged, it becomes:
MOONSTARER
Election results- rearranged becomes:
LIES-LET'S RECOUNT
Slot machines- becomes:
CASH LOST IN ME
Animosity-becomes:
IS NO AMITY
Dormitory-becomes:
DIRTY ROOM
Presbyterian-becomes:
BEST IN PRAYER
The eyes-become:
THEY SEE
The morse code- becomes:
HERE COMES DOTS
Snooze alarms-become:
ALAS! NO MORE Z'S
Eleven plus two-becomes:
TWELVE PLUS ONE
A decimal point-becomes:
I'M A DOT IN PLACE
Desperation- becomes:
A ROPE ENDS IT
Very clever I thought.
