Text Reverser
Reverse text by characters, word order, or line order — instantly, as you type.
About this tool
Reversing text sounds like one operation but is actually three, and this tool does all of them. Character reversal flips every letter — "hello world" becomes "dlrow olleh" — the classic backwards-text effect used for puzzles, mirror writing, and quirky social media posts. Word-order reversal keeps each word intact but flips their sequence — "one two three" becomes "three two one" — handy for testing how text-processing code handles order, or for wordplay. Line-order reversal flips a list top to bottom, turning a chronological log into reverse-chronological order without touching any line's content.
One technical detail done properly: character reversal here is Unicode-aware. Naive reversers split text byte-by-byte and mangle emoji, accented characters and non-Latin scripts into broken symbols. This tool reverses by full character, so "café 👍" reverses cleanly instead of corrupting.
Everything updates live — type or paste, pick a mode, and the result is already there. Switch between modes without re-entering your text to compare all three effects. Like every tool on the site, it runs entirely in your browser: instant, private, and working offline once the page loads.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the three reverse modes?
Characters reverses every letter ('abc def' → 'fed cba'). Word order keeps words intact but flips their sequence ('abc def' → 'def abc'). Line order flips a multi-line list so the last line comes first, leaving each line's content unchanged.
Will emoji and accented characters survive reversal?
Yes. This reverser is Unicode-aware and flips by full character rather than by byte, so emoji, accents and non-Latin scripts stay intact instead of turning into broken symbols — a common bug in simpler tools.
If I reverse reversed text, do I get the original back?
Yes, for all three modes — reversing is its own undo. Reverse by characters twice and you're back to the exact original text.
What is reversed text used for?
Puzzles and treasure hunts, mirror-writing effects, social media novelty posts, testing how software handles unusual input, and flipping list order (via line mode) without retyping. It's a small tool that covers a surprising number of odd jobs.
