Answer 1

Wow thats so cool! All that spelling for nothing...Although I suppose first you have to learn the exact letters in each word in order to scramble them....Anyway, thanks for showing me something new!;)

Answer 2

Yeah, you can also read a sentence if you horizontally obscure the bottom half of the letters, or the top half in most situations. The brain completes the missing fraction. It's an amazing thing. You should read some cognitive Psychology stuff if you're interested. I find cognition astoundingly fascinating.

Answer 3

It was very easy to read, but I don't think that is particuarly amazing. The fact is that although you say the rest of the letters (not first and last) are jumbled, in this example they are more or less in the right order, at least for difficult and key words. Try to make up your own script where the middle letters really are jumbled and ask the question again. -

i dnot tnhik it wluod be so esay!

Answer 4

everyone can read this apart from blind people and dyxlecsics maybe which obviously i can't spell but...........
theres a reason for it its something to do with the brain having enough common points of referance to work the rest out, often if its just a short sentance and you look at it really quickly you won't even notice that its all messed up.
if there was some joke hidden in there then i apologise for not reading the whole thing its just to hot and can't be a r s e d.

Answer 5

That is only partially true. If the word is long enough, it doesn't work. That this word for example: haehnopprtyy

All I did was alphabetize the letters between the first and last and it looks nothing like the word I intended.

BTW, the word is hypnotherapy.

Answer 6

The amazing thing to me is not to be able to read it, but to be able to consciously write it. I think that scrambling up letters may prove to be a more arduous task than reading. This would play more on your psyche because you know how to spell words correctly and now you purposefully write them incorrectly. Once you have mastered that, then I would think that is amazing.

Answer 7

I actually learned that in spelling, in grammar school, and my teacher said tht you could spell the "spelling words for the week" wrong as long as you had the first and last letters right. Crazy, the mind is so bizarre

Answer 8

Adtiunsnog. Ultetry ulebeblianve. And rielveltay ccpaemotild.

Answer 9

Yeah I also got an email like this. It's really suprising stuff. To think that my brain processed that I am amazed.

Answer 10

Cool, I geuss taht mkaes me srmat

Answer 11

As mixed up as it was, honestly I read it as if it was in order. It's about how words need 1st and last letter in place and the rest can be mixed.
