Are there anagrams in Level 12686?

Yes - GAL / LAG and GEL / LEG use identical tiles in different orders, and the grid accepts each only in its own slot. If one is rejected, swap it into the other position.

Why does longest-first solving work in Wordscapes?

The longest answer occupies the biggest slot in the crossword grid and crosses more other words than any shorter fill. Placing it first reveals crossing letters that narrow every shorter slot to one or two candidates. After the anchor is set, most remaining words drop in without trial and error - on this level the anchor is GAZELLE, so starting there is the fastest route through the board.
