How do you: 1) Show the anagrams in a list of -IS words which DO NOT end in IS? It seems the only way is to check manually. 2)Find all 8l words worth between...

Folks might want to check the definitions and parts of speech of these words. It seems the words "past" and "present" in their definitions have somehow...
