Scrabble is a game of anagramming. Anagrams can be pretty
humorous. For example,
New York Times <=> Monkey's write
The eyes <=> They see.
Listen <=> Silent
The IRS <=> Theirs.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz <=> Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags
few lynx.
The title of this puzzle "Get it while it's cold," can be
anagrammed into:
Chilled egotist wit, or Twilight tile
codes.
The thins for this scratch my eye, are
madman rage.

weaker Scrabble skill disguises their ability to encode GPS

all 100 tiles) and all words played can be found in the Scrabble
dictionary.
