Getting a reliable result
Normalise whitespace before matching or deduplicating, since invisible differences defeat exact comparison. Keep the before-and-after counts so you can show what a bulk edit actually changed.
- Use 'Reverse entire text' for a full mirror-image effect.
- Use 'Reverse each word' when you want letters scrambled but word order kept for readability of structure.
- Test emoji-heavy strings to confirm the Unicode-safe reversal behaves as expected.
Mistakes that waste time
- Expecting visually flipped (upside-down) glyphs instead of reversed character order.
- Assuming 'reverse each line' also reverses the order of the lines themselves.
- Forgetting that whitespace between words is preserved exactly in word-reverse mode.
- Reversing text that contains combining characters and expecting perfect visual symmetry.
