Anagrams (part 3)

To start off this week's blog post, here's a plug for one of my books...

'The Quiz Master' is an anagram of 'Ham Zit Request',
as illustrated by this handy animation.
'Ham Zit Request'

You're probably thinking, 'Ham Zit Request? That's a weird title for a book'. However, this week's blog post is all about anagrams, so 'Ham Zit Request' is actually an anagram of the book title, 'The Quiz Master'.

I've featured another batch of anagrams below, and as usual, to test your observation skills I've also included one false anagram. See if you can spot which one it is...

1) When the 2005 series of Doctor Who was being made, the preview tapes were labelled 'Torchwood' as a disguise to prevent the footage from being leaked.

However, the disguise wouldn't have fooled any anagram fanatics, because 'Torchwood' is an anagram of 'Doctor Who'.

Anagrams (part 2)

'Huge buffoon collects weighted farm elm.'

"Quite asleep!"
Er, I mean, "Quiet, please!"
Don't worry, I haven't gone mad and started talking gibberish!* That's an anagram for 'Welcome to the Charles Fudgemuffin blog!'

* Well, no more than usual.

This week I take another look at anagrams, but once again, to mix things up a bit and check that you're staying alert, I've included one fake 'anagram' which isn't actually an anagram. See if you can spot which one it is.

1) If you enjoy peace and quiet, then you'll relate to this first anagram...

'Conversation' is an anagram of 'voices rant on'.

Anagrams

What do Charles Fudgemuffin and 'A Cheerful Mind Guffs' have in common?
The answer is they're both anagrams of each other!

Welcome to the town of Anagram.
Please drive curly flea.
This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at anagrams. As I often like to do, however, I've included a twist. One of the following 'anagrams' isn't actually an anagram. See if you can work out which one it is.

To start things off, this first anagram suggests that reports of Elvis' death may be greatly exaggerated...

1) 'Elvis' is an anagram of 'lives'.



Then again, this next anagram provides a less optimistic answer to the question 'Is Elvis still alive?'

2) 'Elvis Aaron Presley' is an anagram of 'Seen alive? Sorry, pal.'
