An anagram is a type of word play wherein you rearrange the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once. For example: “Microsoft Windows” could be rearranged to become “sown in discomfort“. Other examples are:
- poor devil = ipod lover
- justin timberlake -= im a jerk but listen
- the eyes = they see
Today, I am posting a modified form of anagram. It is designed to challenge your knowledge of geography and your ability to think laterally.
Take out three letters from the three word phrase below and scramble the remaining letters to make the name of a country.
1. AGE OF LIARS
2. VAN FOR TIME
3. ONE BIG MULE
4. THE OLD PAN
5. TOUGH ACT SAFARI
6. WE SEND ONE
7. A REAL DINER
8. NEAR HIS GYM
Now check out how fast you can do the eight items above!

Thanks for the post. Love to solve anagrams almost as much as inventing them. If you like TV + anagrams, check out my blog.
