You can use the max() function to find the biggest list of anagrams:
top_results = max(anagrams.itervalues(), key=len)

That is the biggest list of anagrams, what if I wanted the 3 biggest
lists? Is there a way to specific top three w/ a max command??
Built-in max() function only returns one result.
My solution is to make a sorted list and return last three items:
sorted((len(anagrams[key]), key) for key in anagrams.keys())[-3:]
