well dream lady. anagrams are basically taking one word and making multiple words out of it. like the word dream for instance. you can make dam, red... things like this. what happens is you hit the anagram mania link and you find out what the word is. when you do you analiz the letters and make smaller words out of that word.
hope tis helps.

I know this might seem a really stupid idea to some people, but how about you click on the link, which I'm assuming you've seen as you know about the game, and then read the page, if you're really lucky like the rest of us have been in the past, there is a set of instructions. Though I can't understand why they put them there, seeing as people don't reed them.

Blackbird, very helpful instructions <not>.

Why not try being helpful for once, or, if that's beyond you, just shut up.

Bob, I was helpful, I pointed out that after clicking the link, if you read the page there are instructions. how helpful that is to those not understandding the game I don't know, but it should certainly help the rest, as there should be no need to help. Simply read the instructions, if after that there are still questions, ask them, but be specific. I'm prepared to help people, but first help yourself.

Thanks for the tips. I figured it out on my own. Once again, thanks for all suggestions.

Kev, just curious, how do you know people don't read the instructions?

Simply Rachel, that some of the question we regularly get asked would not be necesary if people looked at the page and so read the instructions first. Any questions after having done so are much more specific, and so there is much more inclination to help.

I agree, it is usually pretty easy to tell the difference between when someone asks a question after doing absolutely no checking into things for themselves and when they have tried but just can't figure something out.

Blackbird, I stand corrected and apologize for my comment in post 5. I'm not going to go as far as publicly flogging myself or posting in the "i'm sorry I'm sorry" topic, because I felt and feel that your statements in post 4 was more sarcastic than I would have liked. But, that's me not you.

It's not unusual for a new member to ask rather obvious questions about the zone when first coming in. I sheepishly have looked at my first posts when signing up here, and admit that I, too, was looking for shortcuts.

But, as you point out, the best thing to do is simply read the provided instructions and then ask specific questions if you still need help.
