03 / Website use cases
Where to use anagram checker
Checking an anagram by hand means crossing off letters one by one, and a single missing letter is easy to overlook. Anagram checker compares two phrases as they are typed, ignores spaces, punctuation, capitals and accents, and shows exactly which letters are missing or left over, with a tally of every letter for puzzles, word games and classrooms.
Word games in class
Show which letters two words share.
Naming
Check that a new name uses the letters of an old one.

Troubleshoot anagram checker
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is it not an anagram when the letters look the same?
One phrase has a letter more or less. The result lists the letters missing or left over.
Why do é and e count as the same letter?
Ignore accents is on. Turn it off to count accented letters separately.
Why are numbers not counted?
Only letters count by default. Turn on Count digits too.
