Palindrome Checker
100% PrivateText & Writing ToolsTest whether a word, phrase, sentence or number reads the same backwards as forwards.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
Enter a word, phrase or number above.
- 1Type or paste the text to check.
- 2Read the verdict: green for a palindrome, red when it is not.
- 3Compare the checked form with its reverse, both shown below the verdict.
- 4Adjust the text and watch the verdict update live.
Input: "Never odd or even". The checked form is "neveroddoreven", which reversed is also "neveroddoreven", so the verdict is: Yes, it is a palindrome.
- Spaces, punctuation and capitalization are ignored, so whole sentences can qualify, not just single words.
- Accented letters are treated as their own characters; "àbba" with a grave accent on the first a would not match a plain a at the end.
- Input with no letters or numbers at all cannot be a palindrome and the tool says so instead of guessing.
After removing everything except letters and numbers and lowercasing, the text must read identically in both directions and contain at least one character.
About this tool
The Palindrome Checker tests whether a word, phrase, sentence or number reads the same backwards as forwards. It shows you the exact normalized form it checked, letters and numbers only and lowercased, so the verdict is never a mystery.
