This means that, in order to figure out what the songs are actually called, you'll need to interpret faux titles like "Rectum, Roofer, Cat" and "Electric Lube." It seems that the single "Everything Now" is going to be track 2, which has been assigned the anagram "Worthy Evening."
Interestingly, the anagram tracklist almost exactly matches a rumoured tracklist that was posted earlier on Reddit.
Below, read the list of track anagrams. The Twitter spree also includes a supposed argument between the accounts @EverythingNowCo and @arcadefire (plus band member Richard Reed Parry). Stay tuned for Everything Now to arrive on July 28 via Columbia.
The @arcadefire asked us not to reveal the #EverythingNow track list, but they didn't say we couldn't do ANAGRAMS! So here we go.

Please stop with the track list anagrams, @EverythingNowCo. We'll reveal the song names when we're ready. Not cool.

The request for injunction against track list anagrams was DENIED. Anagrams continue shortly! #EverythingNow

The next track (sort of track four) is either the highly political "Torturer Of Mecca" or the lost Ibsen play "Rectum, Roofer, Cat"

Track five is when you get mad about Easter candy and go on a "Peep Rant" 🐤🐤🐤🐤

If track six was a collab with A$AP Mob (not saying it isn't) it would be called "My Rich Set." 🥇🧐 #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track seven might be a lost Cannibal Corpse song: "Tenant Fist Infection" 💉 #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track 8 (sort of, you'll see) is something you don't want to hear from your doctor: "Tit Fin Entwines Colon" #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
If the band ever remixes track 9 it should definitely be called "Electric Lube." 🙀
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track 10 makes a strange sort of sense: "God Among Odd." 🏸 #arcadeanagrams
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
Track 11 will sound awesome at Burning Man: "Your Nun Mom, Peyote" 🌵
— Everything Now (@EverythingNowCo) June 3, 2017
And finally (sort of): "Two Revolves Needed." 🔄 And then you can start again. #arcadeanagrams
