J.K. Rowling loves anagrams. In her "Harry Potter" series, Tom Marvolo Riddle's name was an anagram for "I am Lord Voldemort."Now, she's teasing her fans on Twitter with a new anagram riddle. Over the weekend, Rowling tweeted about how busy she was "tweaking" a screenplay, but that she was tempted to post some kind of riddle. Well, she did, and now legions of "Harry Potter" lovers are poring over this tweet with fine-toothed combs and magnifying glasses and metal detectors and whatnot:
Cry, foe! Run amok! Fa awry! My wand won't tolerate this nonsense.

"Newt Scamander's History of New York Fauna: One town, my tale" Warmer.
- J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014#helpfulhint The solution is the first sentence of a synopsis of Newt's story. It isn't part of the script, but sets the scene.
- J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 7, 2014Newt Scamander is the main character of the upcoming movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," which is likely the screenplay Rowling has been tweaking.
