Palindrome & Anagram Checker
Check whether a word or phrase is a palindrome, and whether two texts are anagrams of each other.
What is the Palindrome & Anagram Checker?
The Palindrome and Anagram Checker tests whether your text reads the same backwards, ignoring capitals, spaces and punctuation, and whether a second text uses exactly the same letters, making the two anagrams. It is useful for word games, puzzles, classroom exercises and testing string-handling code.
How to use it
- Type or paste text A into the box.
- Type text B in the second field if you want an anagram check.
- Tick or untick the option that ignores spaces and punctuation in the palindrome check.
- Read the Yes or No results.
Palindrome & Anagram Checker — FAQ
What is a palindrome?
It is a word or phrase that reads the same forwards and backwards, such as level, or "Never odd or even" once spaces and capitals are ignored.
What is an anagram?
Two texts are anagrams when they use exactly the same letters the same number of times in a different order, such as listen and silent.
Does the anagram check ignore spaces?
Yes. Spaces, punctuation and capitals are ignored, so "Dormitory" and "Dirty room" count as anagrams.
