Was reading the Da Vinci Code for the nth time yesterday. Came across this part where Langdon and Sophie are discussing anagrams and Sophie remembers how her grandfather had told her that a simple english word like "PLANETS" had 92 words of varying lengths hidden in it. 92!! Imagine that!
So on a whim, I took a piece of paper and a pen, put the book aside and set out to do the inevitable. And guess what? My list has 70 words. And I am still not done...
I thought of Kripa...how we used to play around with anagrams...
So any of you people motivated to try this out, please DO let me know how many you got...:) Am as curious as the proverbial cat!
