help with loop

hi,

i am trying to write a programme that reads in a word, and outputs the last charecter, then the last two then the last three and so on
e.g
input: java
output: a, va, ava, java

i have written the code but my loop is backward, insteed of reading the last character first, it will start with the first one
e.g
input: java
output: j, ja, jav, java

here is my code, any help would be greatly appreciated

package Loop;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class loop {

public static void main(String[] args) {
String word;
String output = "";

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter a string: ");
word = scan.next();

int numbers = word.length();

for (int i = 0; i < numbers; i++)
{
output += word.substring(0, i + 1) + ",";
}
System.out.println(output + "\n");
}

You want to use the strings length and subtract I each time through the loop.

public class SubStr {

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String word = "Tell me where?";
for (int i = word.length(); i >= 0; i--) {
System.out.println(word.substring(i, word.length()));
}
}
}

Please don't spoonfeed, and use code tags. My post gave a pretty clear idea of what to do. Giving him the code does him no real good.
