I think she should have given them time to talk about their tasks, before explaining to them what happened. A critical student would have remarked that these words have little to no options for anagrams, and question the task. The ability to see things from a distance and objectively is often more learning-effective than to be given an explanation, before checking if you can come up with one on your own.
