Reverse Text

How it actually works

It reverses pasted text in three different orders selected by buttons. Reverse String flips every character with split, reverse and join, so abc becomes cba. Reverse Words splits on whitespace, reverses the word list and rejoins, so the last word comes first but each word keeps its spelling. Reverse Lines splits on newlines, flips the line order and rejoins, leaving the text inside each line untouched.

The choice of unit matters: character reversal shuffles letters and can scramble words and punctuation, while word and line reversal keep readable chunks and only change their order. A running stat line reports the character, word and line counts of the input so you can see what was processed.

Reversal is done on the raw string, so it mirrors order but does not rewrite content, casing or accents, and it runs entirely in the browser with no network.

What that means for your results

The operation is exact and reversible: reversing the same unit twice returns the original, which makes it useful for checking symmetry or undoing a reversal. Nothing is lost or reordered silently - the only change is the sequence you asked for.

Where it falls short — honestly

Character reversal is not Unicode-aware. Emoji, combined characters and scripts that use combining marks or surrogate pairs can break apart or render oddly because reversal works on code units, not visible letters, so a heart emoji may come out as scattered marks. It does not reverse by grapheme cluster, so complex text will not look clean.

A real end-to-end workflow

For a novelty social bio copy the character-reversed output; for rearranging reading order while keeping words intact use Reverse Words. To normalise casing first run Case Converter, and for a decorative upside-down effect rather than a true reversal see Upside-Down Text.
