# Doesn't Overlap

The inverse of [`overlaps`](/modifiers/overlaps.md). Returns `true` when _none_ of the needle values are found in the haystack array, otherwise `false`.

The first parameter is the "needle" to compare against the "haystack". It will read from the context if there is a matching variable, otherwise it will use the parameter as the value. The needle can be a single value or an array.
