Best use cases

Common mistakes

The user expects characters to be reversed too.

Fix: Use a text reverser if you want each line's characters flipped.

Blank lines create unexpected visual gaps after reversal.

Fix: Remove empty lines first if you want a tighter result.

The user expects sorting rather than reversal.

Fix: Use a sorting tool if the goal is alphabetical order instead of reversed position.
