The Anagram Genius anagram generating process is split into four distinct stages. These are shown as four large buttons at the top of the Anagram Genius window.

INPUT: Type in the word, name, or phrase you want to anagram. Then select from the various options which give you complete control over the types of anagrams which will be produced.
Gender: If you are searching for anagrams of a name, then select the gender of the person. Selecting female, for example, will give preference to anagrams containing words like girl or princess, over masculine words like policeman.
Emphasis: Allows you to make your anagrams flattering or satirical.
Categories: Here you can give preference to anagrams containing words particularly relevant to certain subjects.
Dictionary: Choose to disallow anagrams with dropped H's (like 'orrible) and vulgar words, if you want to ensure your anagrams turn out clean (or otherwise!). You can also select American or British spelling.
Search: Control how Anagram Genius searches for anagrams. Limit the time it takes, and the number of anagrams produced (Anagram Genius will intelligently select the best ones according to your input choices).

WORD: This stage finds all words which can be made using the letters of your input text. Each word is rated automatically by Anagram Genius, and anagrams containing several highly rated words will come out best. At the word stage you have the option to change the rating of any word. This is useful, say, if your subject is Wilfred Soames and he is a florist; it allows you to rate the word flowers highly.

SEARCH: The actual anagram finding stage. Here anagrams will be produced, and ranked according to the settings you have selected so far in the process.

WEED: In the final part of the process Anagram Genius allows you to select your favourite anagrams. The user can manipulate the word order and punctuation as they wish before printing out a final report. There are a number of reports which can be generated, containing various combinations of the anagrams produced, and the longest single words which can be made. The latest version even allows the results to be saved in HTML format so that they can be published on the Internet without any difficulty.
