Reverse Text

What Is the Reverse Text Tool?

It writes text backwards and can also reverse the order of words or lines, reverse the letters inside each word, or turn text upside down with look-alike Unicode characters. Emoji and accented letters stay whole instead of breaking into pieces.

What People Use It For

• Puzzles, riddles and hidden messages in quizzes and escape rooms.
• Upside-down text for social media names and posts.
• Reversing the order of a list, such as a timeline, from newest-first to oldest-first.
• Checking palindromes - words that read the same both ways.

How to Use It

1. Type or paste your text.
2. Choose what to reverse: characters, word order, letters in each word, line order, upside down or mirror.
3. Copy the result.

Example

In upside-down mode, Hello World! 👋 becomes 👋 ¡plɹoM ollǝH. The text is reversed and each letter is swapped for a character that looks like it turned over - e becomes ǝ, r becomes ɹ and the exclamation mark becomes an inverted one. With Word order, the same text becomes 👋 World! Hello.

Why Emoji Do Not Break

Many emoji and letters with accents are stored as two or more Unicode code points. Simple reversers flip those code points and produce broken symbols. This tool reverses whole visible characters (grapheme clusters), so a family emoji or a Hindi conjunct stays intact.

Limitations

Upside-down text is made from different Unicode characters that only look flipped, so a few letters are approximations and the result is not searchable as the original words. Only Latin letters, digits and common punctuation have upside-down versions. For other styles, try the Fancy Text Generator; to reverse the order of a sorted list, use Sort Lines.
