Simply put, a lexigram is a word or phrase made from words found within another word or phrase.
One begins with a source word (or phrase), ascertains other words that can be made by rearranging its letters; on a word to word basis, creating new words, and then composing a new phrase out of that list of words. The new phrase is the lexigram.
If one simply rearranges the total letters from the source, it is first an Anagram, because the letters in total are simply being rearranged.
A true anagram is always a simple form of a lexigram.
When anagramming, ALL the letters MUST be used by simply rearranging them to form words. There must not be any leftover letters from what is being anagrammed. That is a true anagram.
THAT IS WHAT THE EXAMPLES ABOVE ARE!
A lexigram however is not always an anagram however. Only by being first a true anagram can it be BOTH an anagram and a lexigram
A true Lexigram does not need to begin by anagramming. It is best to begin with letters and find new words, not simplY rearranging them as in anagramming.
Or one can skip the work and get their words free from:
WORDSMITH
It is when one finally has their words found within their name or whatever phrase they are Lexigramming, that the real magic begins!
