Simple anagram generator using python

##open file and create a dictionary of {"word":"sorted word"}

word_file = open("word_list(1).txt","r")
word_list = {}
for text in word_file:
    simple_text = ''.join(sorted(text.lower().strip()))
    word_list.update({text.lower().strip():simple_text})
    
##lowercase and sort the user input word
def simplify_entered_word():
    lower_word = ''.join(sorted(input_word.lower().strip())) #Creates a list with the lowercase, sorted letters.
    return lower_word
    
#Compare the sorted user input with the values of the dictionary to find the anagrams.
def find_in_dict(entered_word):
    for key,val in word_list.items():
        if val == entered_word:
            print(key,input_word)

##main loop

while True:
    input_word = input("Input the word for anagram checking: ")
    find_in_dict(simplify_entered_word())
