Crossed Out (x) Text Overview
Strike through each character with a bold ✕ so the whole word reads like a stamped cancellation: a✕ b✕ c✕. It’s louder than a line and perfect for jokes, edits, or dramatic emphasis.
Cross words out with an X, not a line—a tiny overlay ͯ lands on every character so letters look decisively cancelled while staying readable. Examples: crossed → cͯrͯoͯsͯsͯeͯdͯ, backspace → bͯaͯcͯkͯsͯpͯaͯcͯeͯ, 2025 → 2ͯ0ͯ2ͯ5ͯ.
Crossed-Out X — compact ͯ overlay on every letter and digit
This style places the small x mark ͯ after each glyph, creating a clean “canceled” signal without a horizontal strike. It’s particularly effective on short tags and headings where a hard stop is the point.
Use for
- Deprecated items, retired features, and price comparisons.
- Playful corrections in captions where the cross is part of the joke.
- Badges and label chips that need a strong “not this” cue.
How to apply
- Enter a brief phrase (1–6 words).
- Generate the crossed-out-x version and copy the result.
- Keep surrounding text normal so the X beat reads clearly.
Craft notes
- All letters and digits receive ͯ; spaces remain open for natural word breaks.
- On tight fonts, the overlay may touch ascenders/descenders—preview dense ALL-CAPS lockups.
- Best in short bursts; long X-laden paragraphs can fatigue readers.
