Frequently asked questions

Does it ignore spaces, punctuation, and capitalization?

Yes — the text is lowercased and everything except letters and digits is stripped out before checking, so "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is checked the same as "amanaplanacanalpanama".

Is an empty input treated as a palindrome?

No — at least one letter or digit has to remain after cleanup, so an empty string or one made only of punctuation and spaces doesn't count.

Does it check numbers, or just words?

Both — digits survive the cleanup step along with letters, so a numeric string like "12321" is checked exactly the same way as a word or phrase.
