What is it called when you make words out of another word?

There are a few terms for making words out of another word, depending on the specific technique:

* Anagram: Rearranging the letters of a word to form a new word (e.g., "listen" becomes "silent").

* Acrostic: Forming a word or phrase by taking the first letter of each line of a poem or text (e.g., "Roses are red, violets are blue" forms "R.A.V.B.").

* Word unscrambling: This is a general term for any game or puzzle where you rearrange letters to form words.

* Wordsmithing: This is a more general term for creating new words or phrases, which could involve rearranging letters, combining words, or using other techniques.

The term you use depends on the specific method you're using and the context.
