Ars Magna Greatest Hits

The funniest and most apt anagrams of people, companies, products, titles, places and phrases, found by Ars Magna and kept by hand.

Every row is a real anagram: the words use exactly the input's letters, checked against a pinned revision of English OpenList (368bf0e4460461c985fca8bde49e4062d56c1516), and every word is in the tier the row names. Accented letters fold to their base letter, so Beyoncé has three e's.

Subsets

Config What it holds Rows
all Every published hit. 66
people People: performers, athletes, politicians, public figures. 10
companies Companies and organisations. 9
products Products, software, devices, brands. 4
titles Films, shows, albums, books, games. 13
places Cities, countries, regions, landmarks. 11

Fields

Field Meaning
id The input's folded letters, its category, and its words as a multiset. Stable.
input The text as a person would write it.
category One of people, companies, products, titles, places, phrases.
words The anagram's words, in reading order.
display The words joined with spaces.
letters The sorted letters the input and the anagram share.
prefilter_score The model-free score that put it in front of a judge (ordering, word frequency, length).
judge One entry per judge, with its model, rubric version, rationale and date. Rubric v2 scores relation to the input (1–5, the score that decides) and reads (1–3), with tone and subjects labels and a justification. Rubric v1 scored aptness, grammar and memorability (1–5 each) and a total.
justification One plain sentence explaining why the anagram fits its input, for a reader who does not know the reference; null when there is none yet.
shelf greatest (Greatest Hits, chosen by hand), interesting (a clear link), or stretch (a loose one).
submitter Who found it, when it was submitted rather than mined; null for a mined hit.
added The date it entered the list.
dictionary The English OpenList revision it was verified against.
tier The smallest dictionary tier that contains every word: common, standard or full.
tags Labels: classic for the ones everyone knows, tone:… and subject:… from the judge, greatest-candidate where the judge scored relation 5.
status accepted or featured. Proposed and retired rows are not published.

How rows get here

  1. Inputs are gathered without a model: hand-picked, or taken from the day's most-viewed Wikipedia articles and classified through Wikidata.
  2. The Ars Magna engine enumerates every anagram.
  3. A deterministic prefilter keeps phrases made of everyday words, in their best reading order.
  4. A language model scores each phrase's relation to its input against a fixed rubric (v2).
  5. The pipeline places each phrase on a shelf by that score.
  6. A person approves by merging. Greatest Hits are chosen by hand.

The pipeline, the schemas and the rubric are in the repository.
