I did not take (or have) the time to check all of the anagrams, especially the really long ones. Someone has a lot more patience than I. Thanks for the greetings for Heritage Day and Reformation Day. They were both a blessing. @Vikki - That's wild that your name has no anagrams using every letter. I wonder how many names for which that is true. My full name had 66,667 results, of which the first 1,000 are displayed. @Kathleen - I think my readers did indeed max out the site sometimes. @Michael – I found several of them quite interesting, including the one you mentioned.

The permitted input length (maximum 30 letters) varies depending on the server load. Currently it's limited to 0 letters. I guess it doesn't like me? Maybe all the ivman readers rushed over to try out their own anagram ideas, and crashed the site? Once it finally let me do it, I got 50001 results... A random sampling: A Gallanter Geckoes Hen A Archangel Keenest Log A Archangel Geek Stolen A Garage Clothes Kennel A Lasagne Choker Gentle A Tracheae Glen Elk Song A Tracheae Kens Ell Gong... By the way, I have never choked lasagne, gently or otherwise. :-) I put in my full name, and got:

However, my husband's name came up with 1422! Like I said in my comment in the last posting, I guess I'm weird. : ( I put my full name, Vikki Jo Ivey, and it came back with “no anagrams found”.

The tedium required to keep track of using all the letters would probably drive me crazy. I was particularly impressed by the one "eleven plus two" and "twelve plus one" since it is an anagram of sorts linguistically and mathematically. Happy Heritage Day and Happy Reformation Day.
