70 toolsAbout Palindrome / Anagram Checker
The Palindrome / Anagram Checker tells you instantly whether a word or phrase is a palindrome — text that reads the same forwards and backwards — and whether two phrases are anagrams of each other.
A palindrome ignores spaces, punctuation, and capitalization, so phrases like "A man a plan a canal Panama" and "Was it a car or a cat I saw" are correctly detected as palindromes, not just single words like "level" or "racecar."
To check anagrams, enter a second word or phrase in the comparison field. Two phrases are anagrams if they contain exactly the same letters, just rearranged — like "listen" and "silent," or "the morse code" and "here come dots."
The tool shows your cleaned input (lowercased, punctuation and spaces removed), the reversed version for palindrome checks, and the sorted letters for anagram checks, so you can see exactly why something matched or didn't.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, and no account or sign-up is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the palindrome checker ignore spaces and punctuation?
Yes — text is lowercased and stripped of spaces and punctuation before comparison, so phrases like "Madam, I'm Adam" are correctly recognized as palindromes.
What is an anagram?
An anagram is a word or phrase made by rearranging the letters of another, using all the original letters exactly once. "Listen" and "silent" are anagrams of each other.
Can I check if two phrases are anagrams, not just single words?
Yes — the anagram check works on full phrases. Spaces and punctuation are ignored, so multi-word phrases are compared letter-by-letter just like single words.
Are numbers treated as palindromes too?
Yes — numeric strings like "12321" are checked the same way as text, since digits are kept during cleaning while spaces and punctuation are removed.
Is the check case-sensitive?
No — both the palindrome and anagram checks are case-insensitive. "Racecar" and "RACECAR" are treated identically.
Why does my phrase show as not a palindrome when I think it should be?
Check for typos or unintended characters. The tool shows your cleaned text and its reversed version side by side, making it easy to spot exactly where they differ.
