I've created a new Anagram finder called Nanagram.
This is to announce the release of version 1.3
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/nanagram.html
It has a nice Tk GUI (written in Python) and lots of features.
It is available for download - either as a windows executable or
python source - and comes with several extensive dictionaries of
words.
There is also an online version (a bit of a cut down version of
course) :

Using Nanagram
An anagram of something is another set of words that uses all the
letters in the original phrase. (And uses them all only once). For
example, did you know that :
George W Bush - is an anagram of 'whose bugger'.......
Tony Blair : 'bony trail'.....
Ronald Reagan : 'adrenal groan' or 'loan aranged'....
Osama Bin Laden : 'bald nose mania' or 'bad neon salami'.........
Mother Theresa : 'hot rare themes' or 'earth theorems'.........
Michael Foord : 'cool firm head'... remember... the anagram never lies
Using Nanagram is very easy - type the words you want an anagram of
and hit enter ! (or 'Go Nanagram')
You can include spaces, apostrophes or dashes etc - but they'll
obviously be stripped out in the anagram !
You can set the minimum number of letters that each word should have
and any words that you want the anagram to contain. Both these options
are useful for reducing the number of anagrams that Nangram finds -
when it finds hundreds it can be difficult to pick out the really
funny ones. Nanagram will automatically show you anagrams using less
words first (because these tend to be the best) - but see the Hints
for Searching section on how to use the Advanced options to further
refine your search.
Version Log
21st Feb Version 1.3.0
Added *another* feature.... There is now a checkbox asking if you want
it to output the results as it finds them. This slows down the search
for anagrams, but is less boring. It also allows you to stop the
search whilst it's in progress.
17th Feb Version 1.2.0
Added sorting to the results, so that anagrams using less words (and
likely to be more interesting) are shown first.
Added the advanced options to set the maximum number of answers it
finds and the maximum number of words to accept in the answers.
14th Feb Version 1.1.1
Exchanged listtostring and stringtolist functions for the built in
list and join commands.
06th Feb Version 1.1.0
Added support for the psyco compiler. The executable is slightly
faster as a result. In the source code version it is only faster if
psyco is installed.
Added support for loading alternative dictionaries. It also saves out
the loaded dictionary in an internal format - both to avoid having to
save a config pointing to the dictionary and to speed up the loading
time.
