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:]
