Anagramatron Bot Finds And Retweets Twitter Anagrams
Ever heard of an anagram? If you need a refresher, it’s a word, phrase, or name formed by rearranging the letters of another.
Think “dormitory: dirty room”; “Clint Eastwood: Old West action”; and “listen:silent.”
Developer Colin Rothfels noticed the frequency of unintentional anagrammatic tweets on Twitter, and developed a bot called Anagramatron that finds and retweets Twitter anagrams.
The account works by finding a pair of tweets that inadvertently uses the same letters, and retweeting each.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
Rothfels also created an Anagramatron Tumblr that compiles all the anagrammatic tweets the bot discovers.
