Request to Identify a Term for Shorter Words Created From Letters of…

---

😎 The words marine and remain are anagrams because you can shuffle all the letters and obtain the other word. If I have a shorter word, such as rain, that I can also create out of letters included in the original word, is there a name for that?

🤖 That’s a great question. A word that is a subset of another word’s letters is called a subanagram. A subanagram is a word that can be formed from some or all of the letters of another word, without changing their order. For example, rain is a subanagram of remain, and marine is a subanagram of marines. Subanagrams are also known as subwords or partial anagrams [en.wikipedia.org]

Subanagrams are often used in word games, such as Scrabble, Boggle, and Words with Friends, to find words that can be formed from a given set of letters. There are also online tools that can help you find subanagrams for any word, such as Subanagram Finder [www.thesaurus.com] or Wordplays [www.powerthesaurus.org] These tools can also show you the definitions, synonyms, and antonyms of the subanagrams.

I hope this helps you learn more about subanagrams and how they are related to anagrams.
