What is an Anagram?

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For example, "LISTEN" and "SILENT" are anagrams of each other - they contain exactly the same letters.

Anagrams in Geocaching

Anagrams are extremely popular in geocaching puzzles because:

  • Word puzzles: Jumbled letters often hide coordinates or clues
  • Cache names: The cache name might be an anagram of the location

  • Educational: Fun word game element

  • Find patterns: Look for common endings (ING, TION, ED, LY)
  • Start with rare letters: Q, X, Z, J narrow possibilities
  • Consider context: What words fit the puzzle theme?
