Reverse text

Three ways to reverse

Characters writes the whole text backwards: hello becomes olleh. It is used for puzzles, checking palindromes ("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"), playful usernames and hidden messages. Words keeps each word intact but reverses their order in each line: one two three becomes three two one. Lines flips the order of lines, handy for turning an oldest-first list into newest-first.

Emoji-safe

Many reversers break emoji and accents because they reverse the invisible building blocks of a character. This one reverses whole characters as you see them, so ab👍🏽 becomes 👍🏽ba, not a broken thumb and a stray skin-tone square.

Worked example

Never odd or even reversed by characters is neve ro ddo reveN. Ignoring spaces and capitals, it reads the same both ways, so it is a palindrome.

In character mode the page splits your text into grapheme clusters, the units you see on screen, using the browser's Unicode segmentation, and reverses their order. That keeps emoji sequences, flags and accented letters whole. In word mode it splits each line at whitespace, keeping the original spacing, and reverses the pieces. In line mode it reverses the order of the lines. Everything runs in your browser.
