RegEx are best suited for finding *patterns* not really efficient in your task, at least as you described it. You might want to consider another approach: s = "Been there, where you've been" temp = s.lower().split() print(temp[0] == temp[-1]) # first equals to last

This regex can get the text if the first and last words are equal: (\w+)(\s\w+)+\s?(?=\1)\1
