Yes, you do get thousands, but I've just found the advanced option where you can force inclusions and exclusions, among other things. I tried that with "oneslipperyfish" and got Fishy spiel prone. So true. So true.

spottedcat= T' despot cat which would be all right if I lived in Yorkshire, I suppose.

Thanks. I entered "spottedcat" in wordsmith, and got out:

A PC dot test and
Dot-cat pest

There. That's just to show that I haven't singled out 1sf.

I'll add the link to my bookmarks, but does anyone know of an installable Linux anagram app?

I bet 1sf could even misspell those - "gnurt" probably.

Hmmm. gnurt is an anagram of grunt. Hmm. There's an anagram-making app I haven't used in years. Unfortunately it's a Windows one (anyone know of a Linux one?), but I thought I'd put "1slipperyfish" in and see what came out. The figure 1 gets ignored, so in the following read "1" as "one"

I liked His flyers pip 1, but I spy 1 fresh lip and Eh! 1 flip spy sir are just weird.

So I substituted 'one' for '1' and got: No! Espy fish peril. which is spot on.

More surreal was: Eh! If nipples rosy, and on the nipples theme: Of shy nipple rise. Not quite sure what that means.
