Text Reverser
About this tool
Flip text three different ways — character by character, word order, or line order — and see the result instantly. Puzzle makers craft backwards clues with it, social media users create mirror-text posts, and the curious decode messages someone else deliberately reversed.
How to Reverse Text
- 1
Enter the text you want flipped — a phrase, a paragraph, or a multi-line list.
- 2
Pick the reversal mode: character reversal turns "hello" into "olleh", word reversal flips sentence order while keeping each word intact, and line reversal inverts a list top to bottom.
- 3
Copy the reversed output for your puzzle, post, or decoding project.
Why Reverse Text with Wrklyst
- Flipped Locally, Live
- Reversal recalculates on every keystroke inside the browser — type and watch the mirrored version evolve character by character.
- Three Modes in One Place
- Character, word, and line reversal usually require three different snippets or formulas; here they're adjacent buttons.
- Nothing Standing in the Way
- The page loads and works — no consent walls, sign-ins, or usage ceilings for something this simple.
Reversal Ideas
- Scavenger hunt clues in character-reversed text are decodable by hand — hard enough to be fun, easy enough to solve.
- Word-order reversal preserves readability oddly well; use it when you want strange-but-parseable.
- Line reversal instantly turns a countdown into a count-up, or flips a leaderboard.
- Test palindrome candidates by reversing them — then verify properly with our Palindrome Checker.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the three reversal modes?
Character mode reverses the entire string letter by letter, producing true mirror text. Word mode keeps every word spelled normally but flips their sequence — "the quick fox" becomes "fox quick the". Line mode leaves each line untouched and inverts the vertical order, handy for flipping ranked lists.
Can reversed text be used on social media?
Yes — reversed output is ordinary text, so it pastes into captions, bios, and comments anywhere. Mirror-text posts are a recurring engagement gimmick because followers must actively decode them. Combine with our Fancy Text Generator for reversed and stylized text simultaneously.
How do I decode text someone reversed?
Run it back through the same mode that created it — character reversal is its own inverse, so flipping twice restores the original exactly. If you don't know which mode was used, try character mode first; it's the most common choice for hidden messages and puzzle answers.
Does it handle emojis and accented characters properly?
Standard letters, numbers, and accented characters reverse cleanly. Complex emoji sequences — flags, skin-tone variants — are internally several codepoints, and naive reversal of any text containing them can scramble those clusters, which is a quirk of Unicode itself worth knowing about before flipping emoji-heavy text.
