FAQ
Can I swap letters in entire sentences?
Yes, the tool processes the text provided in the input area, applying the selected swap mode to the words within your sentences.

When enabled, it ensures that commas, periods, and other punctuation marks remain in their original positions while only the letters are rearranged.
