Someone emailed me this...
It is a modified version of anagrams.
Pick a starting word and then continue by changing the order of the letters and/or changing, adding, or deleting one letter.
steamer
(reorder and change e to r)
armrest
(reorder and delete t)
rearms
In addition, we try to have some sort of logical connection between the words.

I vote we employ an (+i)
artist
to illustrate the literary thread.

That's a tempting idea. Obviously a (-s, +e)
ratite
will not help get this topic off the ground.

Some people may get (-t)
irate
at the sight of an artist with no attire.

I think using an (+g)
aigret
as an item of attire would be pretty interesting.

And perhaps a (i to n)
garnet
necklace since garnet is the January birthstone.

Oooo, I can see it... a garnet carved in the shape of a (+o)
dragonet.
These "little dragons" are generally very colorful and possess cryptic patterns. Their bodies are elongated and scaleless. This is a ruby dragonet.

Who wants to be a (-a +s)
snodger?
(the Aussie variety not the Scottish (yuck - but common this time of year in the northern lats, maybe southern too if you suffer from hay fever))

Thank you, leelaht, for the dragonet, and pommystuart, for the snodger. Anagrammatic Variations introduces us to such an array of
wonders

Thanks Leelaht, never heard of 'snodger'

Interesting Scottish words abound... Donsie (w for i), weason (d for a), but give a (w for c)
second
to pick one

If, with our endowment, we add a Scottish wing to this lexicographic museum, we may need to hire a second
docent
(t for s)

I hope the docent is familiar with the

used in the library.
