Text Reverser

Reversing text sounds trivial until you realize there are three genuinely different ways to do it: flipping every character, reversing the order of words while keeping each word intact, or reversing each word individually while keeping their order. Each produces a completely different (and sometimes useful) result. This does all three.

Reversed (character by character)

dlroW olleH

Reversed word order

World Hello

Each word reversed

olleH dlroW

Why character-reversal breaks on some Unicode text

Reversing character-by-character works cleanly for simple text, but can misbehave on text containing emoji, combined characters (like accented letters built from a base letter plus a separate accent mark), or right-to-left scripts. Naive character reversal can split these into broken fragments rather than reversing them as intended whole units. If your text includes emoji or non-Latin scripts and the reversed output looks corrupted, that's this specific edge case, not a general tool malfunction.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three reversal modes for?

Character-by-character reversal is mostly for novelty or puzzle use (mirror-writing effects). Word-order reversal (keeping each word intact) is occasionally used for stylistic or Yoda-speak effects. Per-word letter reversal is a common basis for simple cipher or wordplay games.

Does it handle punctuation sensibly?

Punctuation is reversed along with the surrounding text in character mode, which can look unusual (a period ending up at the start). This is expected behavior for a literal character-by-character reversal, not an error.

Can I reverse a full sentence or paragraph, not just a word?

Yes, all three modes work on any length of input, from a single word to a full block of text.
