Anagrams is a board game composed of Scrabble-like letter tiles. Players form words and "steal" them by creating anagrams. It has never truly been standardized and there exist a great many varieties of sets and rules. Anagrams sets are no longer published and now often played with tiles from another word game, such as Scrabble.
History
Reputed to have originated as a Victorian word game, Anagrams has appeared in many published versions in the last century. The first modern version seems to have been the game "Anagrams" published in 1934 by Selchow & Righter, the manufacturer which would publish Scrabble in 1953. In 1975, Selchow published the "Scrabble Scoring Anagrams" version which featured tiles with point values similar to the familiar Scrabble system. Another version was published in the 1960s by the now defunct Transogram. The Embossing Company also produced a yellow-on-black "Eye-Rest" set. Many other versions have been produced and, although the game has been out of print for quite some time, used sets can still be found on internet auction and specialty sites. Many players use several Scrabble or Upwords sets. More on [ Anagrams ]
