In summary, anagrams are words or phrases that are formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase. They can be determined by comparing the letters of each word or phrase, or by using an anagram solver tool. Anagrams can also be used to hide secret messages and have applications in fields such as linguistics, psychology, bioinformatics, and computer science. Examples of anagrams include "Angelina Jolie" and "Gel in a jail" and "Johnny Depp" and "Jody Pneep".
