Recent research on anagram solution has produced two original findings. First, it has shown that a new bigram frequency measure called top rank, which is based on a comparison of summed bigram frequencies, is an important predictor of anagram difficu...

The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies (2011)
Journal Article
Muncer, S., & Knight, D. (2011). The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies. Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 40(2), 111-118. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10936-010-9159-6

Six previous studies of the variables affecting anagram solution are re-examined for the evidence that number of syllables contributes to solution difficulty. It was shown that the number of syllables in a solution word was confounded with imagery fo... Read More about The Syllable Effect in Anagram Solution: Unrecognised Evidence from Past Studies.
