![]() As we have seen, many words are so short that they doesn't change at all, and as we all know, short correctly-spelled words are generally easy to read. The claim has some merit, but there is much more than the first and last letters that decide if a word can be read without problem. Use the tool on this page if you want to see for yourself what a random shuffling of the text looks like. If this is intentional or not is hard to say but it seems likely that the shuffling is not totally random but instead has been chosen so make it look scrambled while still being readable. It should also be noted that the two words rscheearch (res ea rcher) and iprmoetnt (import ant) has been misspelled. Four-letter words also doesn't change much because only the two middle letters can switch positions.Ī closer study of the text reveals that almost half of the words are unchanged, and that 61 % of all letters stayed in their original position. Note that the restriction to let the first and last letters stay in their original positions means that all words that are one, two or three letters long will remain unchanged. This might seem like an extraordinary discovery, but is it really true? The text is relatively easy to read for most people despite the letters being in the wrong order. The above quote is an example of a text that has been widely spread on the Internet.

You might have heard that to be able to read a word it doesn't matter in which order the letters are written as long as the first and last letters are placed correctly. ![]()
