Thanks for the OED definition!

The anagram idea is traditionally refuted by producing absurd alternatives. No there's a "game" for the "Wordplay and fun" board!

Although I like what Michael Quinion, in the above link, says about the anagram idea--"This is all nonsense, of course—as every schoolboy knows, they [Shakespeare's plays] were really written by Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford"-- it needs to pointed out that Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, and Edward de Vere are simply the noms de plume of the Comte Saint-Germain, better known to the initiated as Ahasuerus, the Wandering Jew.
