Swap every pair of adjacent letters in each word. Punctuation, spaces and numbers stay exactly as they are.
What Is an Adjacent Letter Swap Tool?
Our Swap Letters in Words tool takes any text and flips every two letters inside each word. It’s a simple but fascinating text transformation: the first and second letters change places, the third and fourth swap places, and so on. If a word has an odd number of letters, the very last letter stays right where it is.
You can use it to create curiosities like "hello" → "ehllo" or "world" → "owrld".
The magic happens instantly in your browser – no data is ever sent to a server, keeping your text private and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔹 Does the tool preserve uppercase and lowercase letters?
Absolutely. The swap only changes the position of each letter; it never alters the case. “Hello” becomes “eHllo” – notice the capital H moves but stays uppercase.
🔹 What happens to punctuation and spaces?
Everything that isn’t an English letter (A‑Z, a‑z) is left untouched. Commas, periods, emojis, spaces, and numbers all stay exactly where they were.
🔹 My word has an odd number of letters. What now?
The tool pairs up letters from the left. The final odd letter has no partner, so it remains at the end without swapping. For example, “try” → “rty”.
🔹 Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
Yes! The tool is fully responsive and works flawlessly on mobile browsers. Just paste your text and tap the button.
🔹 Is my text stored somewhere?
No. The entire swapping process happens inside your browser using JavaScript. We never collect, store, or even see your input.
