Word-by-Word Text Diff
When the edits are inside a sentence, line mode is too coarse. Word mode highlights the exact words inserted and deleted.
Overview
Reword a sentence and a line diff calls the whole line changed, which tells you nothing about what actually moved. This loads two versions of one sentence and runs a word-level diff, marking each swapped word inline — quick to fast, jumps to leaps, lazy to sleeping. Word mode is for prose where the line break is irrelevant and the change lives inside the words. It pinpoints the edits without claiming the rewrite reads better; that judgment is yours.
Workflow
-
Paste the two sentences
Two versions of a reworded line or paragraph.
-
Switch to word mode
Highlights changed words inside the line.
-
See each swap
Every inserted and deleted word marked inline.
Why This Works
- Line mode is too coarse when edits live inside a sentence
- Word-level marking shows exactly which words were swapped
- It pinpoints the edits without rating the rewrite
Best for
- Reworded sentences and prose
- Edits inside a line
- Pinpointing word-level changes
Not for
- Line-structured data — line mode is cleaner
- Deciding if the rewrite is an improvement
Use cases
- Reworded sentences and prose
