    I forgot where I'd got this image from - my guess is many of you must have come across this earlier on - but still this is great fun to read through.. Give it a shot:



Cool - aint it ? wink.gif

That's fascinating, but it gives me a headache trying to read it sort of. Here's something I found:

Hlelo, my nmae is Mkie and I hvae dsoecvreid tihs ncie wrod jbemlur. Isn't it naet how you can sltil raed tihs wtih a fiar amonmut of esae? It knid of gievs me a hadcehae toughh.

Hello, my name is Mike and I have discovered this nice word jumbler. Isn't it neat how you can still read this with a fair ammount of ease? It kind of gives me a headache though.

Yeah I found that. There was one word in there that I couldn't make sense of. I also figured it was due to being unfamiliar with it. It's only natural since your mind has no way of figuring out which order it should be placed in.

Nice one ninjamuky wink.gif That word-jumbler's really cool. That gives me an idea to try design one on my own. There's a certain way to jumble them though - I tried out different permutations of characters using a simple algorithm - but not ALL of them can be deciphered so easily - so there must be a definite jumble order.. Am off to try figure it out.

When I first clicked on this topic, I thought it was going to be a topic where you have to read a page as fast as you can.

That is strange. Although there are a few words I didn't understand quickly, still. But, if you just learned how to read, would you still be able to read that? You can only read it because your use to the words, even if they are moved around. So, if you just learn't how to read, you wouldn't be able to because you're not use to it yet.
