(fades off into the night) That's the magic set of letters that Martin Gardiner a long time ago alleged in Scientific American has no fewer than 65 different anagrams. Now we have nine. edit: Ten: RANGIEST. Last edited by wofahulicodoc; 07/05/09 01:54 PM.

Are you after all 65? Are they not just to be found already together? BTW, I still count 9. ('Bearings' does not count) Unless you count East ring in.

EAST RING doesn't count, unless perhaps you're a circus afficionado. I'd love to see the entire list, though I'm sure I wouldn't recognize the vast majority of the offerings. My recollection is that they were all to be eight-letter words. The Mathematical Games column that Gardiner wrote that in is from the Sixties, I think, give or take ten years. He gave a reference identifying the individual who made the assertion and I suppose I could look it up but I haven't the initiative.
