Yeah, I've seen this before. It is really awesome how the human mind works like that. I had been looking for something like that because my science teacher had mentioned it and I had seen it, just hadn't found it in a while.

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.

yes this is rather old... theres a book out about it i think...does anyone else notice that it doesnt work with word that they are not familiar with or that you don't read to often...

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.

I've seen something like that before. And the first and last letters do help a lot, as well as the context of the word, with both of them you can read quite fluently. It's really cool!

"paomnnehal" can be rearranged into "phenomanal" which is only one letter different from "phenomenal"

I didn't think that it was the first and last letters that helped me understand, but rather the context the words were in. While I was reading a word in there, I kept thinking of the word that should follow. If the next word isn't what I thought it would be, I'd have to unscramble them manually.

I cannot read the spanish one at all.

Anyone know what the paomnnehal word was?

I wonder if one could find that kind of thing in other languages as well? Or is this the only available version? If you find something relevant let me know! smile.gif I'd love to try it.
