Anagram Checker

Check whether two words or phrases are anagrams — the same letters rearranged.

Same letters, different order

An anagram uses exactly the same letters as another word, just in a different order — listen and silent, or the classic dormitory and dirty room. Checking by hand means sorting both sets of letters and comparing, which is fiddly. This does it instantly: type two words or phrases and it tells you whether one is an anagram of the other.

Enter both and it confirms whether they match.

What it ignores

For phrases, an anagram check normally ignores spaces, punctuation and capitalisation, since those are not really part of the letter puzzle — otherwise dormitory and dirty room would fail on the space alone. It compares the actual letters, counting each, so two texts are anagrams only if they use exactly the same letters the same number of times. Great for word games, puzzles and settling a playground argument.
