    It is a repost, but still interesting. Shows how the brain recognises words.

            Does that statistic stand? Almost 45% of us struggle to read this? Who couldn't read it? I could read it.

              The thing to note about this discovery is that it only works for common words. If you saw a sentence containing words you don't know, you would not be able to read it.

                If only people on Code Project spelled with the first and last letters of each word correct. Heck, they often omit entire sentences!

                    I have saw this test in my native language a way back, but what amazes me now is the fact that I have no problems reading this one, and the English is my third language! The brain is the ultimate gadget:)

                                This was debunked by Nish (or maybe it was someone else) in the earlier post. The order of letters *does* matter, it is only some rearrangements that can be recognized as the original.
