Exact comparison Free anagram checker
Are they anagrams?
Compare two words or phrases. We’ll count every letter and show precisely why they match—or where they differ.
We’ll ignore spaces, punctuation, accents, and capitalization.
How it works Exact letter matching
Every letter has to count.
We normalize them
Spaces, punctuation, accents, and capitalization disappear before comparison.

If they are not anagrams, the checker identifies the missing and extra letters.
FAQ Anagram questions
Compare with confidence.
What is an anagram?+
An anagram rearranges every letter from one word or phrase to form another, using each letter the same number of times.
Does the checker ignore spaces and punctuation?+
Yes. It compares letters only, ignoring spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, punctuation, accents, and capitalization.
What is the difference between an anagram checker and an anagram solver?+
A checker compares two entries you already have. A solver starts with one set of letters and finds possible words you can make.
Can phrases be anagrams?+
Yes. For example, DORMITORY and DIRTY ROOM contain exactly the same letters once spaces are removed.
