Anagram Checker: Are Two Phrases Anagrams?

Check whether two words or phrases use exactly the same letters, ignoring spaces, punctuation, capitals, and accents, with a letter-by-letter count that shows what is extra or missing.

Anagram Checker: Are Two Phrases Anagrams?: Both phrases are reduced to their letters and digits, lower-cased and without accents, and each letter is counted. They are anagrams when every count matches: Listen and Silent, or Dormitory and Dirty room. When they differ, the tiles show which letters one phrase has more or fewer of.

Two phrases are anagrams when they use exactly the same letters the same number of times. Spaces, punctuation, capitals, and accents are ignored, so Dormitory and Dirty room match. The tiles show each letter's count in the first and second phrase; red tiles are the letters that differ, with + for extra letters in the first phrase.

Famous anagrams

Astronomer and Moon starer, The eyes and They see, and Eleven plus two and Twelve plus one, which is also true as arithmetic.
