Remembering the Anagramatron (5 of 5)
Could there be a successor?
The Anagramatweest is a more recent version of the Anagramatron with the same basic mission: find anagrammatic tweets and post the pairs to Tumblr. Brian Drupieski used the same code as Colin Rothfels.
Looks like he burned out on the project four or five years ago, but that’s still more recent work than the Anagramatron (and about the time I published my book), so I thought I’d sample some of what he found. No one has taken up the task of anagramming tweets since then, nor has there been any such work done on Bluesky, Facebook Threads, or any other alternative that I can find.
Still, Anagramatweest churned out about 9360 pairs of tweets in its day, and that’s a trove worth diving into. Here’s a healthy sample: I’ll probably put a more extensive one in some other format down the road!
