Keywords
The following tables show the frequency of occurrence of anagrams for a selection of keywords. The columns in the first table show the split-anagram frequency for each word where the gap between the parts is as shown in the column header. I have included low frequency keywords in order to gauge their importance. Words such as astronomy and astrology are useful for comparison because their structure and lettering are very similar. The letter frequency is shown at the end of this page. In some instances two words are analysed at once and each word and the total combination fits the condition in the line.
