arm mar ram Mr a 4

The anagrams listed here are:

1. nags a arm (+ arm a nags, a nags arm, etc)
2. nags a mar
3. nags a ram

5. snag a arm
6. snag a mar
7. snag a ram

You can see how doing it this way means there's much less to read, so you can scan them much quicker. This example packs 12 word combinations into 4 lines. If there were 3 columns of 10 words each, that would take (10 × 10 × 10 =) 1,000 lines, or 3,000 words, to display conventionally, but only 10 lines, or 30 words to display in this way.
