Palindrome Checker
Check whether a word or phrase reads the same backward.
Is it a palindrome?
A palindrome reads identically forwards and backwards — "racecar", or "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama". This tool checks your text by ignoring case, spaces, and punctuation, then comparing it to its reverse, so it recognises phrase palindromes that a naive character-for-character check would miss.
It is useful for word games, naming, and puzzle construction, and it works on whole phrases, not just single words.
What it ignores and privacy
Because it strips non-letters before comparing, "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" counts as a palindrome despite the spaces and question mark. The check runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.

Is my text private?
