Today’s puzzle drops on March 15th, known in ancient Rome as the ides of March and the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated by members of the Roman Senate. In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, a soothsayer warns the titular character, “Beware the ides of March.” It turns out that “Beware the ides of March” is an anagram of “Caesar: few bothered him.” Here are some more examples of where a word or phrase doesn’t quite jive with its anagram:
dormitories ≠ tidier rooms
inferno ≠ non-fire
funeral ≠ real fun
saintliness ≠ entails sins
well-being ≠ we’ll binge
butchers ≠ cut herbs
within earshot ≠ I won’t hear this
diplomacy ≠ mad policy
honestly ≠ on the sly
