Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online anagram checker.
Type both phrases and press Compare. The tool sorts the letters of each and tells you whether
the two sets are identical.
An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another, such as listen
and silent, or dormitory and dirty room.
Yes, by default only letters and digits take part, so a multi word phrase can match a single
word if the letters agree.
Either they use different letters, or the counts differ for at least one letter. The table
marks the letters that do not line up.
No. Only the multiset of letters matters, so any rearrangement of the same letters counts as
an anagram.
Yes. Longer phrases work fine, and the sorted letter string is shortened in the display only
when it gets very long.
Yes, while the ignore case option is on, which is the default. Switch it off to compare case
as well as letters.
Digits are included in the comparison by default, so 12ab and ab21 match because the same
characters appear in each.
No. The comparison runs in your browser as you type, so nothing is sent or stored anywhere.
