KEYWORDS

LOST was about fan exploration and finding hidden meanings in each episode.

In that regard, here are keywords associated with various characters:

CHARACTER 1: smile, mainline, asinine, lineman, seminal, alumni, insane, jumble, menial, nebula, nimble, simile, usable, abuse, alibi, alien, amuse, annul, blame.

CHARACTER 2: geyser, heresy, heroes, gorse, horse, house, rogue, rough, rouse, shore, shrug, sough, surge, usher, goer, gory, gush, hero, huge, rosy.

CHARACTER 3: choke, clone, colon, coke, cone, cool, echo, neck, nock, hole, hone, hook, jock, joke, lone, loon, one.

CHARACTER 4: serfdom, deform, adore, arose, dream, frame, major, smear, arse, dame, dare, deaf, deja, dose, fade, fame, fear, foam, jade, more, read, roam.

CHARACTER 5: nauseate, astute, attune, estate, nausea, statue, eaten, satan, snake, stake, state, stunt, taken, tease, tense, ante, east, keen, sane.

CHARACTER 6: Apache, arcade, phrase, preach, sacred, scrape, search, spread, ahead, cadre, caper, chase, crash, parse, reach, share, space, spare, spark.

Can you match those characteristic words to a specific LOST character?

It came to me that the character names may contain hidden meaning because words matter to writers. So I decided to run an experiment by putting main character names into an anagram generator to find keywords to see if those results matched the characters personality traits on the show.

Those were some of the results for six main characters on LOST.

The characters associated with each result:

1. Ben
2. Hugo
3. John
4. James
5. Kate
6. Jack
