This tool uses way for vowel-start words and ay for consonant-start words. A leading consonant cluster moves to the end before ay, so string becomes ingstray.

Strict Classic treats y as a consonant at the start of a word and a vowel later in the word. Simplified treats y as a vowel even when it starts a word.

apple becomes appleway, banana becomes ananabay, string becomes ingstray, and Hello, world! becomes Ellohay, orldway! with punctuation preserved.

Hyphenated words and contractions are split into alphabetic parts, transformed independently, then joined with the original punctuation.

Decoding uses the same selected rule set and only reverses tokens when one clear English candidate can be found.

Some Pig Latin words are ambiguous without a dictionary. When more than one original word could have produced the same token, the decoder leaves that token unchanged.
