What does a word replacer do?

Swap one word for another everywhere it appears without collateral damage: whole-word matching is the default, so changing cat to dog leaves category and scatter alone. Matching is case-sensitive until you flip the ignore-case toggle, and a regex switch is there for trickier jobs. Leave the replacement empty to delete the word outright.

How to use the Word Replacer

  1. 1 Paste the document you are editing.
  2. 2 Give the current word and its replacement.
  3. 3 Leave whole-word matching enabled so partial hits are ignored.
  4. 4 Take the revised text with the copy button.

What you can use it for

  • Replacing a brand or product name across copy.
  • Substituting a synonym throughout an article.
  • Removing a filler word from a document.
  • Localising terminology in exported text.

Frequently asked questions

Why default to whole-word matching?
Because word substitution goes wrong fast without it: replacing “art” inside “start” and “party” mangles a document. Boundaries keep the edit on the standalone word.
How do I delete a word entirely?
Put the word in the find field and leave the replacement blank. Every whole-word occurrence disappears; surrounding spaces remain, so tidy double spaces afterwards.
Does capitalisation affect matching?
By default, yes: “Cat” and “cat” are different matches. Turn on ignore-case to treat them alike, noting the replacement is inserted exactly as you typed it.
