Two names. One set of letters. What do they hold?

Put in two names — yours and someone else's. Every letter in both is pooled together, and All Our Letters reads what that pool holds: words, phrases, and now and then a message that uses every single letter with none left over. That last one is rare; most pairs of names don't have one. The maths is exact — nothing is ever shown unless every letter came from the two names you gave. Free to begin. £1 opens the full reading and a PDF, paid once. No account, no subscription.
Johnny Cash and June Carter have twenty letters between them. Those letters spell EACH OTHER. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt's spell NO RAIN NO ROSES. Nobody chose either one.
That is the rule the whole thing was built on: nothing is ever written by hand. Every phrase came out of the search exactly as it came out, and where a famous pair returned nothing but word salad, that pair got dropped rather than helped along. It is why some obvious couples are missing. It made the examples worse and it made them worth believing.
The second rule was to keep the living out of it. Nobody can control what a set of letters spells, so publishing an unflattering arrangement of a living person's name is not ours to do. Every example we publish is someone long dead or someone who never lived at all. That is about publishing, not about the tool — putting your own two names in is it working exactly as intended.
