What is it called when two words have the same letters?

There isn't a specific term for two words having the same letters, even if they're arranged differently. However, you can use these terms to describe the situation:

* Anagram: This is the most common term when referring to two words with the same letters in a different order. For example, "listen" and "silent" are anagrams.

* Permutation: This term refers to any arrangement of objects (including letters), but doesn't specifically refer to words. So you could say that "listen" and "silent" are permutations of each other.

If the words are spelled the same but have different meanings, they are called homonyms. For example, "bear" (the animal) and "bear" (to carry).
