'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.

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.
different / differently
'anders' and 'andersrum' both have to do with a different way or point of view. 'anders' is very general: something is not the same or is not done in the same way. 'andersrum' is colloquial and usually means 'the other way around', that is, in the opposite direction, order, or perspective. They can be confused because both express a difference or deviation. But 'andersrum' only fits when something is really being turned around or the order is being changed. If something is simply different, 'anders' is correct.
Du hast die Karten falsch gelegt; andersrum sieht man die Namen besser.
You laid out the cards the wrong way; the other way around, you can see the names better.
