I love word plays, but there's no way I could have come up with the following list. This is an interesting list of words that, when you rearrange the letters, form other words that are related to the first. If that doesn't make sense, you'll understand when you read the list. You'll also agree with me that someone, somewhere, has way too much spare time on their hands or is deadly at Scrabble. Go ahead and check to make sure, but each one correctly rearranges the letters.
dormitory = dirty room
astronomer = moon starer
the eyes = they see
desperation = a rope ends it
the morse code = here come dots
slot machines = cash lost in me
animosity = is no amity
election results = lies - let's recount
snooze alarms = alas! no more z's
a decimal point = I'm a dot in place
the earthquakes = that queer shake
eleven plus two = twelve plus one
If you happen to come up with any others, let me know! And if you have the time to sit and work on something like this, let me know that, too, because I've got some things you could do for me in your spare time -- like taking down my Christmas tree, for starters!
