Frequently asked questions

What does Reverse each word do?

Reverse the letters inside each word while keeping the word order.

When would I actually use this?

Cleaning up a paste before it goes anywhere: stripping duplicates from a list, normalising case, removing accents for a filename, or sorting lines.

What is the most common mistake?

Sorting text as if it were ASCII. Accented letters land after Z in a byte sort, which puts "Zurich" before "Émile" and produces a list no reader will accept.

How is Reverse each word different from Reverse word order?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Reverse word order is the one to open when you need it to reverse the order of the words on each line (keeping the letters intact). Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Duplicate each line is the closest one after this: Repeat every line a chosen number of times.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Quote each line and Trim each line — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Transformations use the browser's Unicode-aware string handling, so case changes and sorting respect the locale rather than byte order. Nothing is truncated: what comes out is the whole of what went in.

Case, a trailing space, a no-break space and two different encodings of the same accented letter were each run through the duplicate finder, and it reported no duplicates for three of the four.GuideCleaning Up a List Pasted from a Spreadsheet or a PDFA paste carries characters you cannot see: no-break spaces, soft hyphens, zero-width spaces, tabs and CRLF.

UAX #14 gives every character a line-break class; we looked ours up in Unicode 17.0.0 and ran a conforming implementation over no-break spaces, soft hyphens, zero-width spaces, URLs, Japanese and Thai.GuideConverting Between List Formats Without Losing Data: The Quoting Rules Nobody ReadsTurning a newline list into a comma list is trivial until an item contains a comma.
