Three ways to flip a text
From coded treasure-hunt messages to UI rendering tests, reversing text has more uses than it seems. Three modes: letters (each line mirrored), words (word order flipped) and lines (text read bottom to top).
-
Type or paste
The result updates with every keystroke.
-
Pick the mode
Letters, words or lines — switch freely, the source text is preserved.
-
Copy
The reversed text lands in your clipboard in one click.
Example on the same sentence
| Mode | “the cat sleeps” |
|---|---|
| Letters | speels tac eht |
| Words | sleeps cat the |
| Lines | (reverses the order of the text’s lines) |
Reversal works by Unicode code points: simple emojis and accents survive. To check a palindrome, clean spaces and punctuation first.
Frequently asked questions
What is reversing text useful for?
Games and riddles (simple coded messages, treasure hunts), palindrome checking, typography rendering tests, and developers wanting test data or verifying Unicode string handling.
Do emojis and accents survive the reversal?
Yes: the tool splits text by Unicode code points rather than bytes, preserving emojis and accented characters. Only some complex assemblies (flags, family emojis) may decompose.
What is the difference between the three modes?
“Letters” reverses each line character by character. “Words” keeps words intact but reverses their order within each line. “Lines” keeps each line intact but flips the vertical order of the text.
How do I check a palindrome?
Type the phrase in “Letters” mode and compare: if “racecar” reads the same backwards, it is a palindrome. Remember to strip spaces and punctuation first (our text cleaner helps).
