The short story of Centre's anagrams

Anagrams show up because English recycles letters. A cluster like the one in centre can tile into several real words without adding or removing anything, and the fact that 2 such words exist for one letter set is what makes anagram clues so satisfying in a crossword: the solver has to hold the whole letter set in mind and let the definition steer them to the right ordering.

Quick tips

Keep it alphabetical and scan by first letter — anagram lists reward vertical scanning. And when a clue feels like it matches two entries, check the letter counts: this list only contains full-length words, so any clue asking for a shorter answer is pointing you at a partial word, not an anagram.

The unscrambler on this site is the interactive half of this page: type any jumble of letters and it returns every dictionary word those letters can spell. The static list here is the fast path for centre; the tool is the fast path for everything else.
