Welcome to Fanagrams, a blog focused on humor, curiosity, doggerel and other oddities of everyday life.
Each fanagram consists of a personal essay combined with a word game poem at the end. The missing words in the poem consist of a set of anagrams (i.e. words that share the same letters, like spot, post, stop), and the number of dashes indicates the number of letters. One of the anagrams will rhyme with the preceding or following line, giving you a big hint. Your job is to solve the missing words based on the above rules and and the context of the poem.
Fanagrams were inspired by my mother Fan Brown, whose clever wit and worn pink rhyming dictionary have been constant inspirations.
