This is a common topic Psychology students study in their upper division elective course(s). I remember that from back in my college days that:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

To answer your question; It doesn't matter what order the letters are AS LONG AS THE FIRST AND LAST letters are in the correct place. When the words are totaly jumbled though it gets much more difficult. It has been proven however that if your first language was english totally jumbled words are significantly easier to "unscramble". This "unscrambing" of words are much more difficult for those that learned English as thier second language, even if they are fluent in English. Check out the link below!

FUN! =D

Answer 3

Tests have proved most people can read a word providing all letters are present, and the first and last are in the right place, so for fun things, no it does not matter.
I do not suggest you write an official letter, eg . a job application without correct spelling though, it will end up in the bin. So yes spelling does matter.

Answer 4

We can read and understand the words as long as the first and last letters are correct. The letters in the 'middle' of each word can be rearranged in any order but as long as the 1st and last are correct, then no problem.
We (humans) are programmed this way so we can still understand the writings of people who do not know what a spell checker is for.

Answer 5

Not always. In your question, all the anagrams are non-words, and it is obvious what the words should be. The trouble comes when the anagram is also a valid word that could have been used with a different meaning. For instance, try not to be very rude about King Cnut, who took his court to the beach to remind them of the limits of his authority.

Answer 6

No as long as the letters from the word are in there and the first and last letters are in the correct place. Sorry I dnidt jbmule the lrtetes up to povre it.

Answer 7

People read the word as a whole and thats why it can be read as long as the first and last letter are in place. We have to question why we were always taught that spelling was so important.

Answer 8

The human brain does not read the whole word just the 1st and last letter so you can still read it no matter what order the letters fall in as long as the 1st and last are correct.

Answer 9

As long as the first and last letter of every word is correct, the brain is able to figure it out at a glance.

Answer 10

No, if the first and last letter of the word are right then most people could read it with no trouble .... there was a study on it
