String Reverse: Reverse Text by Characters, Words, or Lines
Reversing strings is a fundamental text operation that comes up in coding challenges, data processing, and creative applications. Our tool offers three reversal modes and automatically detects palindromes.
Reversal Modes
Reverse Characters
Reverses each character in the string:
Hello World → dlroW olleH
abc123 → 321cba
This is the classic string reversal — every character is mirrored.
Reverse Words
Keeps each word intact but reverses their order:
Hello World → World Hello
The quick brown fox → fox brown quick The
Useful for rearranging text or creating interesting effects while keeping words readable.
Reverse Lines
Reverses the order of lines in multiline text:
Line 1 Line 3
Line 2 → Line 2
Line 3 Line 1
Handy for reversing lists, log files, or any line-based data.
Palindrome Detection
When using character reversal mode, the tool automatically checks if your text is a palindrome — a word or phrase that reads the same forwards and backwards (ignoring case and non-alphanumeric characters).
Famous palindromes:
- “racecar”
- “A man a plan a canal Panama”
- “Was it a car or a cat I saw”
- “Never odd or even”
