Reverse Text

Reverse text three ways

The Reverse Text tool flips your text instantly in whichever way you need: reverse the characters (so "hello" becomes "olleh"), reverse the order of words, or reverse the order of lines. Type or paste, pick a mode, and copy the result — all in your browser.

Three reversal modes

Mode	Input	Output
Characters	Tool Central	lartneC looT
Word order	one two three	three two one
Line order	line1 / line2	line2 / line1

How to use it

1. Choose reverse characters, word order, or line order.
2. Type or paste your text.
3. Copy the reversed result.

What it is good for

• Fun and puzzles — create backwards messages and brain teasers.
• Flipping lists — quickly reverse the order of lines or items.
• Word games — check palindromes by reversing characters.
• Creative formatting — mirror short snippets of text.

Reversing characters vs words vs lines

The three modes do very different things. Character reversal turns the entire string back to front, letter by letter — handy for palindrome checks and backwards text. Word-order reversal keeps each word intact but reverses their sequence. Line-order reversal flips a multi-line list top to bottom without touching the words, which is great for quickly inverting a sorted list.

Palindrome tip

To check whether a word or phrase is a palindrome, reverse its characters and compare to the original (ignoring spaces and case). If they match — like "racecar" or "level" — it reads the same forwards and backwards.
