I am glad you were successful in running the Anagram transformations.

I am using an English dictionary, which I took long time ago from an
open source spelling project and just converted to XML -- so I didn't
have a say in the composition of the dictionary and am using it "as
is".

No, I'm sorry I didn't specify the source xml in a comment, however I
said this in my blog:

"Here, I am reusing the same 46379 English wordforms dictionary, I was
using for the spelling checking tasks. In fact, the transformation is
applied on it -- the document dictEnglish.xml."



So, the transformation is applied on the dictionary itself.


Be warned, as already stated in my blog, that this transformation will
take quite long, because it first indexes the huge dictionary file on
Anagram keys, before performing the search for anagrams.

This is why, it pays off very much to create the specialised Anagrams
Dictionary in one single transformation (which you already did) and
then to use it together with testGetDictAnagrams.xsl
