Palindrome checker controls in Elementor
Text sets the starting text, line-by-line checking, accents, digits and strict mode. Behaviour turns the mirrored pairs, the longest palindrome and live updates on or off. Labels sets the heading, box label and result messages. The Style tab covers the layout, box height, result and pair colours, fields and the Check button.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use palindrome checker
A sentence palindrome such as “A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!” only works once spaces, punctuation and capitals are ignored, and a near miss is hard to spot by eye. Palindrome checker strips those away as you type, lays the letters out as mirrored pairs, points to the first pair that does not match and finds the longest palindrome hidden inside, or checks a whole list one line at a time.
Teaching

Palindrome checker compatibility with Elementor

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot palindrome checker
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is my sentence not a palindrome?
One pair of letters does not match. The result names the first pair, counted from both ends.
Why does strict mode say no?
In strict mode spaces, punctuation and capitals must mirror too, which few sentences do.
Why is no longest palindrome shown?
It is only shown when the whole text is not a palindrome and the longest run inside has at least three characters.
Palindrome checker plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.
Does it work with numbers?
Yes. Digits count by default, so 12321 is a palindrome.
Can it check several words at once?
Yes. Turn on Check each line separately and put one word or sentence on each line.
Does it handle accented letters?
Yes. Accents are ignored by default, so é matches e; turn that off to count them.
