Why ALERT has 5 anagrams
An anagram must use every letter exactly once, and that constraint is strict enough that most English words have none. Whether a word has anagrams depends almost entirely on how common its letters are: sets built from E, A, R, I, O, T, N and S rearrange readily, while anything holding a J, Q, X or Z rarely does.
Sorting the letters of ALERT gives AELRT. Every word sharing that fingerprint is an anagram, which is why the answer here is exhaustive rather than a best effort.
