Reversing text has more uses than you might expect — solving and creating word puzzles, producing novelty mirror-writing effects, flipping the order of a list, or checking a palindrome. The Reverse Text tool can reverse your text at three different levels: by character, by word or by line, so you get exactly the kind of flip you need.
How to use the Reverse Text tool
- Paste your text into the box.
- Choose a reverse mode: characters, words or lines.
- Copy the reversed output.
Three ways to reverse
Each mode does something distinct. Character mode reads the entire string backwards, turning "hello" into "olleh" — useful for puzzles and simple obfuscation. Word mode keeps each word intact but reverses their order, so "the quick fox" becomes "fox quick the". Line mode flips the order of whole lines, which is handy for reversing a chronological list or putting the newest entry first. Knowing which level you need makes the tool far more powerful than a single "reverse" button.
Tips and ideas
- Use character mode to test whether a phrase is a palindrome.
- Use line mode to invert a list without retyping it.
- Word mode creates a Yoda-like rearrangement for fun.
- Combine with case tools for more elaborate text effects.
The reversal happens instantly in your browser, so the text never leaves your device.
