Frequently asked

What counts as an anagram?

Two strings that contain the same letters in a different order. "listen" and "silent" are anagrams; "listen" and "silence" are not (extra e, missing t).

Why are the option toggles there?

Case, spaces, and punctuation change whether phrases like "Dormitory" and "Dirty room" qualify. Toggle them so you can be strict or loose depending on your definition.

What does the diff show?

When two strings are not anagrams, the diff shows which characters are missing on each side — a quick sanity check when you're one letter off.
