Q: why do you decide to create the scramble page? you know, the anagrams page.
A: anagrams has been a hobby of mine for a long time. i always imagined it being on the site (there have been some stray ones posted to the expert page). just never got it together to decide on what formatting i wanted. then when people started requesting them last year through the questions page, i got an opportunity to do longer ones than i ever had before, which was thrilling, but also ridiculously time consuming, and problematic because it stalled the questions page. because i always do the questions in order. so it meant i had to either skip the anagram forever, or actually do it, and in the case of the very long ones i was spending 6 or 8 hours on one. this was while i was deep in the darkest depths of 'history of the entire world i guess'. so i knew the only solution was to make a dedicated anagrams page, with a request box, and just do them whenever i can, and not let it stall the questions page
