About This Quiz
Do you love anagrams? Are you an avid reader? We've combined both of these fun pursuits into one great quiz. We challenge you to get them all right.
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. For instance, we can rearrange the letters of the word "angel" to form the word "glean." That's an anagram.
