I don’t know about you, but I wore out all of my good parenting skills on the first Polar Vortex! Coming on the tails of the holidays, we have made all the crafts, cooked all the stuff, sang all the songs and rented all the movies. DAD is tapped out.
Polar Vortex the sequel is slamming us on a Monday, after a weekend! Why can’t Ginger Zee arrange these to hit on a Wednesday, break up the week a little bit.
The only thing I have left to make the Polar Vortex “fun,” is the anagram. For those of you who went to Kansas State, an anagram is “a word or phrase made by changing the order of the letters in another word or phrase.” Or more simply put for you Ohio State grads, “how many words you can make out of a word.”
It kills time and gets everyone involved. Polar Vortex, how many do you think there are? Polar Vortex, DAD will spot you polo and tape. How may do you think are left?

?
439! That’s right, you can make 441 words out of Polar Vortex! I broke them up as if we were playing Scrabble and by numbered words to make it easier for you Carthage grads.

Okay. To be honest, this Carroll University grad, did cheat a little bit. There’s a cool web site DAD discovered called SolverScrabble.com, where you can type in any word and it will give you the anagram. Though I think with enough time I could have come up with polo.
If you need something to do and Scrabble is an option or making anagrams, it’s a good tool to have and kind of fun. By the way there are 14 words you can make out of FART. Four words out of BOOB and 708 out of Oral Therapy!
If you want to separate Polar and Vortex, this is how it breaks down.
