Fill in both boxes. Case, spaces and punctuation are ignored.
- 1Type the first word or phrase in the left box.
- 2Type the second word or phrase in the right box.
- 3Read the verdict at the top of the results.
- 4Use the letter table to see which letters are short or extra on each side.
First: "Dormitory". Second: "Dirty room". Ignoring case and the space, both sides contain d, o, r, m, i, t, o, r, y: the same letters in the same counts, so the verdict is: Yes, they are anagrams.
- Only letters and numbers count; every other character is ignored on both sides.
- Both sides must have at least one letter or number, and the totals must match exactly, for a yes verdict.
- Accented letters count separately from plain ones, so café and face are not anagrams here.
An anagram rearranges letters into a different text. A palindrome reads the same in both directions without rearranging. The Palindrome Checker next door tests that.
About this tool
The Anagram Checker compares two words or phrases and decides whether they use exactly the same letters, ignoring case, spaces and punctuation. It shows a letter-by-letter count table for both sides, with any mismatching letters highlighted, so near misses are easy to fix.
