Anagrams may be created as a commentary on the subject. They may be a parody, a criticism or satire. For example:
* "[[The New York Times|New York Times]]" = "monkeys write"
* "[[Church of Scientology]]" = "rich-chosen goofy cult"
* "[[McDonald's]] restaurants" = "[[Uncle Sam]]'s standard rot"

An anagram may also be a synonym of the original word or phrase. For example:
* "evil" = "vile"
* "a [[gentleman]]" = "elegant man"
* "silent" = "listen"
* "eleven plus two" = "twelve plus one"

An anagram that has a meaning opposed to that of the original word or phrase is called an "antigram".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | title=antigram |  dictionary=Definitions.net | url=https://www.definitions.net/definition/antigram | access-date=31 July 2019}}</ref> For example:
* "restful" = "fluster"
* "cheater" = "teacher"
* "[[funeral]]" = "real fun"
* "[[adultery]]" = "true lady"
* "forty five" = "over fifty"
* "[[Santa Claus|Santa]]" = "[[Satan]]"

They can sometimes change from a proper noun or personal name into an appropriate sentence:
* "[[William Shakespeare]]" = "I am a weakish speller"
* "[[Madam Curie]]" = "Radium came"
* "[[George W. Bush|George Bush]]" = "He bugs [[Al Gore|Gore]]"
* "[[Lord Voldemort|Tom Marvolo Riddle]]" = "I am [[Lord Voldemort]]"
* "[[Morse code|The Morse code]]" = "Here come dots"

They can change [[part of speech]], such as the adjective "silent" to the verb "listen".

"Anagrams" itself can be anagrammatized as ''"Ars magna"'' (Latin, 'the great art').<ref>{{cite web |title=Ars Magna |url=https://www.pbs.org/pov/arsmagna/|website=[[PBS]] |access-date=9 January 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090622024806/http://www.pbs.org/pov/arsmagna/ |archive-date=22 June 2009 |date=1 July 2008 |quote=This Emmy-nominated short enters the obsessive and fascinating world of anagrams.}} ''[Original article's link to video is dead, but link in archived article works.]''</ref>
