Reverse Text Generator

Write text backwards, reverse the order of words, flip each word while keeping the sentence order, or reverse a list of lines or a paragraph’s sentences. The reversal works on whole characters as you see them, so emoji with skin tones, flags, Korean syllables and accented letters are never broken into pieces, which simple reverse tools often do.

How to use this tool

1. Type or paste your text.
2. Choose what to reverse: characters, word order, letters in each word, lines or sentences.
3. Untick “line by line” to reverse the whole text as one block.
4. Copy the result.

Formula

Backwards text = the grapheme clusters of each line in reverse order (Unicode text segmentation, UAX #29)

A grapheme cluster is what a reader sees as one character: a letter plus its accents, an emoji with its skin tone or ZWJ sequence, or a pair of regional indicators that form a flag. Reversing code points instead would detach accents and turn 🇰🇷🇯🇵 into different flags. Word order splits on spaces and keeps punctuation attached to its word. Sentences are found with the browser’s sentence segmenter.

Example

The sample “Hello world! 👋🏽 Reverse me.” backwards is .em esreveR 👋🏽 !dlrow olleH: the waving hand keeps its skin tone. In word order it becomes me. Reverse 👋🏽 world! Hello, and with letters reversed in each word olleH dlrow! 👋🏽 esreveR em.
