How to Check a Christmas Anagram
Ignore spaces and capital letters, then sort the letters on both sides alphabetically. If the sorted letter strings match, the anagram is exact. For example, CANDY CANE and ENAC YDNAC both use A, C, D, E, N, N and Y.
If the letters are almost the same but one is missing or extra, it is not an exact anagram. This is especially easy to miss with double letters in words such as REINDEER and STOCKING.
