| An excellent play on words. Though I love anagrams, I couldnt get it.  |

May 28, 2006
| I knew that I was to find an anagram of the word "itself", however I didn't know what the words were. Nicely done  |

| Very well written! Repitition of the word "itself" kind-of gave it away for me, but still required a doubletake. |

| I got the trick almost immediately, and I got stifle. I didn't get filets though! I was trying to think of words that began with St or Fl. Great teaser! |

| Dear tintiniscool -
TinTin may be cool, but you need to send TinTin to School! "Filets" are slices of meat or fish, as in "Filet of Sole," or "Filet Mignon" (a gourmet cut of steak) or even salmon or perch filets.  |

| Oh. I thought it was homonyms. I got "read" and "read"... the first one is a homonym of "reed" the second a homonym of "red," thus making the same spelling two different words, one the past tense of the other. |

| Great one, I got stifle but could not come up with filets. By the way, tintiniscool, "filets" is the plural of filet, which is a slice of meat or fish (like a filet-of-fish sandwich at McDonald's). |

| Filet is a variant of fillet and filet is also worn like a head band, check your French on this. Very well done. |

| That was greatly written. Like most others, I knew that I had to find anagrams of "itself," but didn't find any. |

Jun 14, 2006
| I thought it was "anagram" "itself"
because anagram can be changed twice and be the same so I got it wrong. Opps |

| Well technically if you wanted us to find an anagram for "itself" you should have put "itself" in quotes like all the other anagrams you used as examples.
Right? |

Jun 29, 2006
| I realised that we had to find anagrams of 'itself', but didn't have the patience to work out both of your answers.
As an afterthought I did come up with 'fliest' which is also in the dictionary (honest!) defined as the 'superlative of fly'. |

Jun 29, 2006
| Tedger - wrong, that was the trick part! |
Smudge
Jun 29, 2006
| Loved it.
Though, technically "fliest" and "flites" are both words.
But this was a very fun teaser...going in My Favorites right away! |

| I got stifle right away, but got stumped on the 2nd word. I thought fistle might be a word. NoGO--  |
Neek
Jun 29, 2006
| I wish I would give myself more time on these. I probably wouldn't have been able to get the words even if I did figure out that I was looking for anagrams of itself. Tricky one--good job! |

| Um, udoboy? I'm sorry, but I know you'll appreciate this gem of knowledge. Read and read are homonyms: spelled the same, sound different. Read and reed, as well as read and red, are homophones: sound the same, spelled differently. Clever approach, though. |

| I think I was one of the few who got "filets" but couldn't get "stifle." |
crumbbum
Jun 29, 2006
| Got it easily, but I think using quotes around "noun" and "neon" means you should use quotes around "itself". I know it's nitpicking, but consistency counts. |
jabdr
Jun 29, 2006
| Great idea and so clever. I immediately got stifle, strutted way too much, then never figured out filets. Would love to see more like this. |
saleprice
Jun 29, 2006
| good one, I knew itself was the word but couldn`t get the two anagrams.
Filet is to slice,bone or make into fillets........ |

| This one certainly got me racking my brain. Very,very good. Realised only after ten minutes. Cheez , how stupid can you get !
Here are some anagrams that are anagrams of the word itself at http://www.wineverygame.com
stifle
flites
fliest
filets
tiles and more.. |

| I didn't have a clue as to what I was looking for. I usually have no trouble with anagrams, but I never caught on that "itself" was the word I needed to anagram.
Boy, do I feel stupid? YES, I do ! |

jcann
Jun 29, 2009
| As soon as I read the hint I realized that you wanted an anagram made out of the word "itself" and I did get stifle, but not filets. To those who think the word "itself" should have been put in quotes, that would have given it away without the hint. We're supposed to do some thinking on these trick ones. |

| *READ THIS WITH A COUNTRY/SOUTHERN ACCENT*
*sigh* Like so many of my predacessors I was young and easily found the trick itself. Yet for the rest of my life I was stuck in the country, searching a meaningless search. Yes it was a lonely life on the farm. All alone. No one to talk to... |

| I was checking on wikionary that "stifle" was correct when I saw "filets" under it (as an anagram, of course, WHY did they add those to definitions??) so I had to come up with a different 'other one'. I have heard the word "flite" used long ago, I gathered it meant a tiff or a tantrum, from the way it was used, so I checked to see if the plural "s" was correct, and it was so, to have a little fun :
Old Scottish Proverb:
If you value your life, do not start flites by telling your wife to "Stifle!" when she is making filets and still has the knife in her hand. |
