Which anagram tool do you use to help you solve the anagrams? I personally prefer the anagram server at
http://wordsmith.org/anagram/advanced.html. On that page, you want to enter 1 in the box saying "maximum number of words per anagram".
The anagram server always uses ALL of the letters that you enter.
So, if you enter the word SILENT without specifying anything, you get a list that looks like this:
LENS IT
LENT IS
LETS IN
LEST IN
LET SIN
SET NIL
If you enter the word SILENT And say "maximum 1 word", it has to use all the letters in a single answer, and your list will say
Now, in this case, you're probably out of luck because you don't know which one it is, but I have found that the most commonly used word is probably the one they were looking for.
Hopefully that will be helpful information if we end up having to play Eliv Thade for the next part of the plot. If we do, I'll submit the info above to be included in the plot instructions.

While I'm on the subject:
Now, if you are playing Word Poker, you'd go to the same anagram page, but this time, don't put anything in the "maximum words" box. Instead, mark the button that says "show candidate word list only", which doesn't use ALL of the letters each time, it shows any words that can be made using all or part of the word, so you can make your own sentence.
So, for SILENT, you'd get
THIS huge list of words, including many that you didn't see earlier, such as LIE, SLIT, TIE, and TEN.
The reason they didn't come up in the first search is because in the first one, you HAD to use all the letters - that's what an anagram is: making a new word or words by rearranging and/or splitting up the original word or words.
In our original, unmarked entry with the multi-word anagrams, the server looked at the word SILENT and started to analyze how it could rearrange the letters to make words.
It could make "TIE" from the letters given... but a proper anagram has to use ALL the letters in the original entry, and the leftover letters, L S and N, don't make any word at all.
Well, that kind of misses the point! If you wanted to make nonsense words you could just rearrange it to say EILNST or SLNTIE or something. The point of the anagram rearrangement is to make a new word or phrase or at least set of words, by simply rearranging the letters and inserting only spaces or punctuation.
So, back to my point at hand-- when playing Word Poker, don't need a real anagram; you just want to know ALL of the words that can be found within the letters you entered, even if there will end up being letters left over. So, by clicking "just show word list", you will get just what you want.
Then the hard part is deciding whether you should go for 3-letter, 4-letter, or 5-and-higher words... or try to type in only the words starting with a given letter, and so on, in order to get the highest word poker score.
Good luck!

i failed... oh well onto the next part
Jubart Igig doesn't ring any bells to me. I'm glad I managed to mark at least a grave, though.
I wonder what we're going to have to do next...I agree with those who think we'll have to win at Eliv Thade or something along those lines. Makes sense that we'd have to do that eventually considering Gilly the dumb Usul is one of the main characters in that game...yeah...
