Anagrams are words which have had their letters scrambled and you have to find the original word.

Here are some examples:

OWLS is an anagram of SLOW

RACE is an anagram of CARE

LOOP is an anagram of POOL

SHOE is an anagram of HOSE


These were easy, four-letter anagrams. They were also all real words.

In a test, you may also be shown seemingly random letters which do not form words.
