テキスト反転

A text reverser flips the order of something — but "something" can be characters, words, or lines, and the three operations produce very different results from the same input. The tool exists because there is no single "reverse" button in most editors that lets you pick the unit, and because doing the same operation by hand once you cross a few dozen lines becomes both slow and error-prone. Pick the unit first, then run the operation; otherwise you will spend more time deciding what went wrong than reading the output.

Why people actually reach for this

Most uses are not novelty — they are mechanical edits that would otherwise need a script. Reversing the order of lines in a log so the newest entries appear first; flipping the order of words in a translated sentence to compare with the source; inspecting a token to see if it is a palindrome; mirroring a string to feed into a test case. The tool is small on purpose: it does one mechanical thing well, instead of trying to be a full text editor.

How each of the three modes is computed

Each mode operates on a different structural unit. Knowing exactly what a mode treats as "one item" is the difference between a clean output and a result that looks scrambled.

• Character mode walks each line by code-point sequence and reverses it. "hello world" becomes "dlrow olleh". Line boundaries are preserved.
• Word mode keeps each line on its own but reverses the order of whitespace-separated words inside that line. "the quick brown fox" becomes "fox brown quick the".
• Line mode keeps every line byte-for-byte intact and only flips the order of the lines themselves. The first line becomes the last, and vice versa.
• All three modes are pure: the same input plus the same mode always produces the same output, and reversing twice in the same mode returns the original text.
• None of the modes change content. Characters are not transliterated, words are not stemmed, lines are not de-duplicated. If you need those, use a different tool first.

Rule of thumb: if the result surprises you, the mode is almost certainly not the one you meant. Switch modes before suspecting a bug.

このツールの使い方

1. Prepare representative short strings, labels, line lists, and copied text snippets in テキスト反転 instead of starting with the largest or most sensitive real input.
2. Run the workflow, generate reversed text that can be copied for testing, puzzles, or quick transformations, and review Unicode characters, emoji sequences, line breaks, and whether you need character reversal or line-order reversal before deciding the result is ready.
3. Only copy or download the result after it fits string testing, demo data, puzzle content, mirrored labels, and quick line-order checks and no longer conflicts with this constraint: Complex emoji and combining characters may not behave like simple single-code-unit characters in every environment.

The same paragraph reversed three different ways

# input
the quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog

# character mode (each line reversed)
xof nworb kciuq eht
god yzal eht revo spmuj

# word mode (word order reversed per line)
fox brown quick the
dog lazy the over jumps

# line mode (line order reversed, lines unchanged)
jumps over the lazy dog
the quick brown fox

Notice that all three modes use the same input but produce three completely different outputs. Picking the mode is the actual decision; pressing the button is the easy part.

Where each mode is the right answer

Reversal is rarely the goal in itself — it is a step in a larger task. The list below covers the small, recurring jobs where reaching for this tool is faster than writing a one-off script.

• Reversing log lines so the most recent event sits at the top, ready for screenshot or paste into an incident document.
• Checking whether a word, name, or token is a palindrome by reversing characters and comparing.
• Reordering a comma-separated list — paste it as one line per item, reverse line mode, paste back.
• Producing a test fixture that needs the same data in opposite order without writing a helper.
• Translation drafting — flipping word order in a sentence to feel out the rhythm of a different source language before formal translation.

Pitfalls that come from reversing the wrong thing

Most surprises with this tool come from reversing one unit when you actually meant another, or from reversing text that has structure the tool cannot see. The list below is what to check first when the output looks wrong.

• Combining characters and emojis: reversing the code-point sequence of "é" (e + combining acute) puts the accent before the letter and may render as a different glyph.
• Bidirectional text (Hebrew, Arabic mixed with Latin): the visual order on screen is not the same as the logical code-point order. Reversing one usually breaks the other.
• Tabular text where words are separated by multiple spaces or tabs: word mode collapses those separators, breaking column alignment.
• Markdown or HTML where wrapping characters carry meaning ("**bold**", "[link](href)"): a character or word reverse turns those into broken markup.
• Numbered lists where the leading number is part of each line: a line reverse swaps the lines but leaves the numbers out of order; renumber afterwards.
