Actors, Actresses...and Anagrams!

Right again (off course) !
Let's have another one.

This should be pretty easy.

BECK VAINON

[DarkMarc]

I wait for someone, anyone, to join in the game.

Claire, I really like to keep playing, but honestly when only two are playing there is not much fun left.

( couldn't we make a rule that whoever starts up a game should always be playing it as well? :-) )

[Claireofthemoon]

I don't think anyone's going to join in. If you don't want to play, that's fine. Darth started this game and think he did his best but it just got too frustrating for him.

I would be more than happy to play if somebody could offer me some helpful advice. I mean, some people see a scrambled word and they can instantaneously rearrange it into its proper spelling. Unfortunately, while it may have been a wonderful idea for a game on my part, I would seem to lack the concentration and discipline to play it myself without a great deal of angst and frustration...

[Claireofthemoon]

I understand Darth. I'm not really sure what DarkMarc's point is. He knows you were trying to play the game. It's not like you started the thread and then never got on again.

[DarthPazuzu]

Well, then...BECK VAINON

What do I do? How do I even begin to approach this??

My trick(s) of the trade? I've explained them in earlier posts

Do you have the board-game SCRABBLE? A normal SCRABBLE-game has about 100 wooden pieces, each with a letter on it. Just take out the letters you need and shuffle them around. Try making simple words, doesn't matter which words.
If you don't have that game, just make a bunch of scrap papers, write the letter(s) on them.

But as we are looking for names and not words: try making names instead of words.
With your CHRISTIAN BALE: the first name that springs to mind is BRIAN: that's because you placed RABIN in front. Which was a nice trick :-)

Re-arrange the letters from the puzzle, so to "forget" the words of that puzzle.

Try what was suggested before. I'm good with Scrabbble and letters, so I can look at a scrambed word (sometimes) and figure it out.

[DarthPazuzu]

None of that's helped so far, I'm afraid...

[Claireofthemoon]

Don't worry about it.
