THE BASIC RULES FOR LEXIGRAMMING AND ANAGRAMMING

1. Use any and all letters from the source to create/find words when Lexigramming.

Add none, remove none.

2. When Anagramming, use all the letters from the source by rearranging only to find/create words, with no letters left over.

Add none, remove none.

3. Do not add or remove any letters from the name or phrase etcetera before starting to Lexigram or Anagram it. If you do remove any letters, be they consonants or vowels, your resulting Lexigram or Anagram will not be based on the Name etcetera you chose to divinate.
There are several styles of lexigramming, however, each with its own unique process used in this selection process. Those will be described later.

To start out, we’ll use the Pure Lexigram style here.

With this technique, there are no permutations, it is a “straight shot” approach to lexigramming: if you have the letters, use them. Do not add or remove any.

Once you have a list of words, they can be arranged into a phrase that relates back to the original phrase.

(Alternate ways of how to find or acquire your words will be discussed later)

As an example; let’s demonstrate with the word NORTH. Using that as our source, we now need to determine which words are ‘hidden’ within it. Look at the letters in this word: N-O-R-T-H. What other words can you make from those letters? Can you find OR, HOT, NOR, NOT, THOR? What other words can you find in NORTH?

To compose a lexigram, string these words together to make a new phrase. One possibility is HOT OR NOT.

The source phrase can be any string of characters – a name, a date, a title, phrase, etcetera. The only requirement is that the phrase be composed of letters. You can lexigram any phrase, such as “Bobby Smith”, “August Third”, or “Nabisco Crackers”. Any numbers in the phrase must be spelled out using the word (“August 3rd” is incorrect, one must use “August Third”).

When Anagramming one is confined to being allowed to only rearranging the source, and

When Anagramming;

ONE MUST USE ALL THE LETTERS FOUND IN THE SOURCE BEING ANAGRAMMED!

Some actually have the misconception that anagrams are word lists of words found within the source being Anagrammed.

The words found from the phrase, name, word, etcetera;

Are the Lexigram Words.

These words use any and all letters on an individual "WORDS" basis.

Anagramming requires one to use all the letters in total, and by simply rearranging those letters to form new words without any letters left over.
