'Andersrum' (the other way around) is a colloquial contraction of the words 'anders' (different) and 'herum' (around). It literally means 'anders herum' (the other way around) or 'auf die andere Weise herum' (around in the other way).

This word is typical of spoken language and informal texts. It is used very frequently in everyday life.

No, not like that, you have to turn the screw the other way around!
As an adverb, 'andersrum' (the other way around) can be placed flexibly in the sentence. It can appear in position 1 (then the verb follows) or after the verb in the middle of the sentence.
Andersrum wäre es viel einfacher gewesen.
The other way around, it would have been much easier.
When 'andersrum' (the other way around) refers to a physical direction or order, the first meaning is intended. When it introduces a new thought or another perspective, the second meaning is intended.

You're reading the plan the other way around; the entrance is on the other side.
reversed / conversely
Both words can describe an opposite order, direction, or manner. Umgekehrt is neutral and is also common in more formal texts. Andersrum means the same thing but sounds colloquial. Umgekehrt is usually a better fit in an official text, while andersrum is natural in casual conversation.
Im Gespräch erklären wir es einfach andersrum.
