1264: Aptagrams May 27, 2018
Anagrams are quite famous, but there are multiple varieties. Palindromes are similar but there are also so called aptagrams, which is a semantically relevant anagram. A few famous examples include 'moon starers' for 'astronomer', 'notes' for 'tones', and 'dirty room' for 'dormitory'. The list of those is fairly short, but it can be expanded to cross-language anagrams, such as 'ars magna' (Latin for 'great art') as an aptagram for 'anagrams'. Debatably, the best of all of them is "twelve plus one" and "eleven plus two" which not only is relevant being within the field of mathematics, but is also accurate.
