This is why programming in Java brings me out in a rash. I got the following results:

found 2531 anagrams
longest = [’algorithmically’, ‘logarithmically’]
most = [’pares’, ‘parse’, ‘pears’, ‘rapes’, ‘reaps’, ’spare’, ’spear’]

This took me ten minutes and ten lines of python, compared with your 210 lines of Java in six files (excluding tests).
