Reverse word order first: pos ta barkwd tabt tryf Reverse each word’s letters: pos → sop ta → at barkwd → maybe they meant backward → drawkcab tabt → tbat tryf → fyrt
"sop at drawkcab tbat fyrt" — but that's not valid English. tryf tabt barkwd ta pos
But since that’s meaningless, perhaps the puzzle is broken or barkwd was meant to be backward , and the full reversal of "tryf tabt backward ta pos" is: Reverse word order first: pos ta barkwd tabt
But known answer to such puzzles: Reverse the whole string as is (including spaces): tryf tabt barkwd ta pos
sop at drawkcab tbat fyrt — still cryptic.
It looks like the phrase is likely a reversed or scrambled version of a known English phrase.
