I've always struggle in word games like scrabble, because I only know a limited number of words. At school, I once played a word game called Anagrams. It required me to rearrange a word to form other words. For example, the word "Arts" can be rearranged as- Tars- Rats- Star- TsarLately I've come across a few websites that automatically solve this type of word game . They give me a relaxed way to learn new words. I can type some words that I am curious about, and boom! In a split second, a list of words with the same letters arranged differently, come up. Here are some words that I find interestingly sarcastic (although politically incorrect)Japan's rime minister- Shinzo Abe -> Sob in HazeTaiwan's president- Chen Shui-Bien -> Nice Bush in heKorean actress who once had an affair with a Hong Kong singer- Kim Hee Sun -> I sue HK menThe world's hybrid car- The Toyota Prius -> Oh, auto is pretty! -> Ahoy!
