   Now that tickets have just gone on sale for Sarah McLachlan’s   
   tour for the 30th anniversary of her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy   
   album, and many are thus back in FTE fever, here are my 1994   
   list of Scrabble-tiles generated anagrams of "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”,   
   followed by three computer generated ones from Paul Phillips.

   Well, I played around trying to get anagrams for fte   
   with as few words as possible and trying not to repeat   
   strings (hence no "ing" or "umbl", but I did use   
   "ward") for "fumbling towards ecstasy". Here is the   
   list, including the few I posted before. I'm still   
   not happy with the 3 word ones but (should) have better ways   
   to waste my time. Let me know if you get any more   
   three or even two word anagrams (anna-marys).   
      
   drafty magnetics, sublows   
   Sandbag, costumer, swiftly!   
   crafty woundless gambits {woundless is in Oxford Concise d}   
   swiftly sandbag customer [swiftly sandbag crust 'ome]   
      
   croft slid subway magnets   
   iambs glow defunct satyrs [defunct satyrs glow iambs]   
   magnetic locus, bawdy firsts   
   crafty nudes stow gimbals   
      
   sturdy magnetic bass flow   
   crafty gimbals sound west   
   subcomet tails fang wyrds   
   swift rats scumbled agony   
      
   mesocrust lifts [flits] bandy wag   
   stigmas cleft by unwords [crafty gambits wound less]   
   crafty nuts dowse gimbals   
   fungoids mat crystal's web [crystal's fungoid bats mew]...   
      
   bus: crystal woman fidgets   
   submagnets drift cosy laws   
   stomal cardings buy wefts   
      
   sun ward cleft by moist gas   
   soma wasted by curt flings   
   comet is drawn by fat slugs   
   soft magic tunes slab wyrd   
   cuts gym, frond wets labias [cuts gym, wrests fond labia]   
      
   focus wild magnets by arts [focus wild arts by magnets]   
   a flat subcomet sings wyrd   
   cleft bay, moist sung wards   
   sun facet draws misty globs   
      
   I was going to arrange them into some sort of   
   sense but it's dawn late so "eye wound brought her, eh".   
      
   and here are some starting words that didn't work out:   
      
   menstrual, minstralery   
   mandorlas, dragonflys, symbolic   
   gynobase, flowery, flowers, stigmatas, symbiont   
   fecundity, scrotums, swords, stigma   
      
   I later posted these last three anagrams, generated by computer by   
   Paul Phillips (I think probably posted on alt.anagrams):   
      
   PP: satisfy downcast grumble   
   PP: forcible gymnast sawdust   
   PP: declassify strung wombat   
      
   Not bad, but the only one I really like is   
   the first one, and that I didn't find since I   
   wanted to avoid repeats of "umbl" . The last   
   two make for some weird images, though --- perhaps:   
      
   a heavy gymnast with sandpaper shoes, on the balance beam; and   
      
   make public a secret Australian musical instrument that   
   raises the digeridoo harmonics to new hypnotic levels,   
   which can induce a "return to the womb" trance.   
   (I'm sure Mickey Hart can hartly wait).
