About this tool

Reverse characters, words, or lines for puzzles, testing palindromes, or obfuscation demos. See how strings transform when order flips.

Unicode-aware reversal handles many multi-byte characters; emoji clusters may need special handling.

Common use cases

  • Creating reverse-text puzzles
  • Testing palindrome algorithms
  • Demoing string manipulation in teaching
  • Quick obfuscation for non-security use cases

How to use

  1. Enter text to reverse.
  2. Choose reverse all characters, words, or lines.
  3. Review output instantly.
  4. Copy reversed text for your use case.

Understanding the result

  • Character reverse mirrors the entire string end-to-start.
  • Word reverse keeps characters within words but flips word order.
  • Line reverse flips order of newline-separated lines.
  • Combining modes matters—reverse words is not the same as reverse characters.

FAQ

Reverse words vs characters?

Character reverse: 'hello world' → 'dlrow olleh'. Word reverse: 'world hello'.

Does it handle emoji?

Simple reverse may split surrogate pairs. Test output for your emoji strings.

Security through reversing?

Trivial to undo—not encryption. Use proper crypto for secrets.

Newlines preserved?

Line-based modes keep newline characters on respective lines.
