Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I still read the scrambled text?
Research suggests that we don't process every single letter when we read. Instead, we recognize the overall shape of the word and use context clues, provided the start and end letters are correct.
Does this work for all languages?
It works best for languages that use an alphabet, like English, Spanish, or French. It may not work as intended for logographic languages like Chinese.
