Reversal

← Repeated-letter change
Reversed flats →
In this article

A word or phrase becomes another when reversed. Examples: desserts, stressed; and de trop, ported.

In the bigram reversal, two-letter chunks are reversed instead of single letters. There aren’t many of these; one example is seraph, phrase.

If either part lacks dictionary nature, the puzzle is not a reversal but a mynoreteh (which see).
