And, anagrams HAVE been used in the past (e.g. to get "drive straight, turn left", a few years back).

Hopefully, it'll all be clear in a few days.

Of course, the clues also point to a water game (as they always do, it seems): Dew (water) kisses a rose. Wayne Wade (water reference) recorded "I Kissed a Rose" in the 70s. An anchor (water!) is a holding weight.

We have assumed that Seal was the singer referenced, but this song fits the words better. The rose is the object being kissed, rather than the other way around.

Then again, who knows.
