Now read this text again, paying attention to each word and you’ll probably notice “some” typing errors ;)
If you completely randomized the order of the letters, it probably wouldn’t be readable. They changed some of the positions, but not all — just enough that your brain can correct for the mistakes. For example, look at “unviesitry”. It’s not a completely random order, like “utienrisvy”. They kept the n in the right spot, the v near the beginning, the t near the end, etc. So what they’re saying is misleading. It should be no surprise that the brain can correct for a few mistakes. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to read sentences with typos.
You sound like my anoying friend who’s name will not be mentioned.
And the biran does fgirue it out
I tinhk its aewosme…i’ve been uesnig it on my firedns a lot. Tehy seem to tihnk i’m czray but tehy hvanet seen it yet so thx for the luahgs!
It’s because your brain is reading using the “lexical” and “semantycal” ways (i don’t know how to spell it correctly in English) instead of the phonological way. The lexical and semanthycal way consist of every word you ever heard and they’r meaning. The phonogical way is the way that you use when you learn new words (it’s matching the letters to the sounds)
Wow thats werid
I read the whole thing then I saw the”Now read this text again, paying attention to each word and you’ll probably notice “some” typing errors ;)”
Man that is weird
I dnot udestnand waht im mnet to be dniog heer lol!!!

so asewmoe! nveer seen taht beofre! so wried…
Damm man,whrilly cool:D

I knew there was spelling mistakes, but I still knew what the words said. too easy. ;)
I tinhk taht is rlaey kool!!! But is taht an iuslioln?
omg, this is SOO easy to me
yae i funod the mastikes saitrght aawy too, and slitl cluod raed it. kwel!!! P; srroy i maen ;P
theres an add like that, it tells us about it, but its all written down wrong
this is silly. of course, i usually neurotically correct other people’s spelling mistakes so… this just irritates me. even if it is readable
tihs is a vrey good iulsilon
i saw it like 100000 times on otha sites…..its AWESOME!!
i saw it lkie 100000 tmeis on ohta seits…..its AEOSMWE!!
lol
fakey fakey!
ugh. readable, but painful. I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t notice the errors the first time around.
hey tht x ray pic of a head look like homer simpson from the simpsons!!! lol
^ | | maybe thats why the brain is so small
tihs is the way polepe raed cumopetr sapek
i nitoecd in 3 soencds. ^_^
hahaha. very funny
Amit Patel – not sure if you noticed, but you spelt university wrong XD
I notice taht the words were mispell half way through me reading taht was weird

i read that lik i was in the 10 grade it was 2 easy
Wooooow, this is soooo cool! Although ther are a lot of mistakes, i couldent find trouble reading them at all.
1 time to figure it out
Is that Homer Simpsons’brain?
Ithink it is ^_^
Amit Patel, I’m sure its really scrambled. Or is it a conspersity? *waves hands in air* Why else would a university say that if it isn’t true? Jeez… Ttahs on the wlal of my old taeehcr’s room. ITS TURE! RLEALY! IT TTOLALY TURE! RGIHT?
hloy suht taht is so aewosme and taht lkoos eaxtcly lkie hmoer spsimon’s haed bcaesue of the mutoh and nsoe
Cool! I love this trick but I alredy read it in the newspaper.
WTF IS THE DEAL WITH THAT PICTURE VURDLAK WHAT THE HECK!
omg taht is awoseme!
haha lol thats how my righting looks like at school :P
Somebody sent the same thing to me in an email. Lame, really.
It works alright!
The x-ray looks like homer simpson lol
What the heck? I already saw the spelling errors, quit saying i missed something, when i didn’t I notice that stuff all the time. I’m a “professional” speller and i have alots of friends on AIM who do that.. It’s kind of anonynig soemtmies. I htae it.
how big are homers teeth?
Its funny but biaised….
Wehn the lttrees are clmpoety rzenanoidd our biran is silrutgnegg and no ssnee can be dteudced, hsloetny :)
bull shit. just becasue you type in siht does not mean it’s some kind of illision or “weird phonemoneaoeaseon.. ” OH WOW, LOOK MOMY I CAN READ WHEN THE LETTERS ARE MIXED UP AS LONG AS THE LENGHT AND FIRST AND LAST LETTER ARE CORRECT.. NO SIHT SUHUROCLK
you know the skelton in the picture next to the mixed words(which i could read fine,i am 12) I think that the skelton looks like Homer Simpson – i dont wach that show but from the movie previews it looks like him < lol
haha aww i feel dumb some of them it took me time to figure out what they meant but it was obvious to me that they were mispelled
I could read it through the first time and only stumbled once. I could tell that everything was spelled weird but i could still read it. Does that mean there’s something wrong with me or something??????
no, that is the illusion. although the letters in the middle are all jumbled up, you can still see the words.
My 7 year old could even figure this out! It’s amazing!
i tried writing jumbled words like this with a pen and paper and its way less convincing/readable than when the words are typed up.
FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO KEEP SAYING THE IMAGE LOOKS LIKE HOMER SIMPSON, IT IS HOMER SIMPSON. THE IMAGE WAS MADE AS A JOKE BY THE SIMPSONS CREATORS- LOOK HOW TINY HIS BRAIN IS! IT’S MEANT TO BE FUNNY!
SO GET IT INTO YOUR HEADS, PEOPLE…
IT IS HOMER SIMPON!
yes, yes it is.
you said homer simpon, not simpSon!
THE PICTURE IS NOT MADE BY THE CREATOR OF SIMPSONS. actually it is made by a guy in sweden who i actually know, the proof is that he is the only one who’s got a hd version of it!!
I am evil homer! I am evil homer!
No university made this test, it’s just a fake, if you move the letters more than two possitions in the word, even if the first and the last ones are in there places, you wont be able to read that word. if you dont trust me … try to read this: You may palrobby be albe to raed smoe wdros but trehe are smoe taht you cnat urantsdend
u can still read it very easily…
“You may probably be able to read some words but there are some that you can’t understand.”
Let me konw wehn you tihnk of smoe!
I can still read what you typed easily.
why do you think this is bullshit? it is perfectly beutiful!!! I can read it with the slightest effort? type one HARD one up
i can understand it… maybe there is something wrong with me though ;) xoxoxo
I dnt’o crea :p hu ho bthic peslae
It looks like someone was drunk when they wrote this…
I tnihk tihs is so esay. I aslo lvoe tnighs lkie tihs!
holy crap! I knew there was a lot of errors in it but no matter how many times I read it I fully understand it! Trippy…
the picture looks like homer from simpsons!this is michelle
It’s because your brain reads the word as a whole and not indivudually, that is when you know how to read, kids who just learned can’t read that (obious)
He looks like Homer Simpson:P
i feel as if its a rnaodm iulolisn
taht I raed ptrety eialsy. ayonne can raed tihs.
what does homer have to do with it?
My Dad boghurt tihs hmoe ocne. I ralely lkied it aolt. I hvae sowhed it to mnay of my fernids. I lvoe it!!!
kk fine some of that i cant read.
i can raed it eslaiy!
haha sorry but a lot is 2 words :P
To number 58 I can under stand every word in the sentence my Dads a teacher of little kids and he said they can read that better then they do when the letters aren’t mixed up.
Its proven by a University believe they are definitely right.
wait a sec. I CAN NOT SPELL LIKE ANYTHING!!! when my teachers look at my paper they are like “u cant spell obvious?” whitch i spelled ovious. stupid huh? well i’m not! i am in an excelerated group!!! i can read just fine!!! its the spelling that gets to me!! ok thanks any way for letting me vent. i gtg now, bye!!!!
Cool! I love it…
It’s jsut amnziag how our brnais wrok. For me it’s one of the msot incbirdele prat of our body…

tihs is so cool i touhgt it was graet but i hvae seen tehese bfeore
what about the word “WEIRD”?
what if you scramble it…sometimes it becomes “WIRED”….
is there another word that has the same case like this?

ya u only mix the letters between the end and beggining.. not the end letter too! that kinda ruines the whole concept
wow tihs is rlaely aazmnig!
I saw tihs in the eccnyplodeia of iammurtiy and tgohut it was ralely cool :3
yeah i alway find it really cool,
I can read this in 1 go , yes 1 go!!!!! :)
hey, that’s an x-ray photo of Holmer Simpson!
What does it have to do with anything?!!!
to the person who commented about a study like this not ever being done:
Studys as silly as this are done all the time, that doesn’t mean you hear about it every single time in the news. And if i recall correctly i remember hearing something about this on the my local news aswell as a late night talk show, sometime in the early 90’s.
Also i could read the sentence you typed out just fine, its just how the brain works, live with it.
actually when you read something, your just looking at the word like a picture.. which means if you see ( ex ) Paint, a picture forms in our head.. that’s why we can have problems with big letters, reading everything with BIG LETTERS CAN BE IRRITATING AS EVERYTHING LOOKS STRAIGHT OUT. do you understand what i mean ? go search then, on ggoloe!
SOME people are retarded, you cant do it with a 3 letter word. dumbasses.
The picture is Homer Simpson people!
@ “Me, Myself, and iPod”: The first and last letter are ought to stay the same. You fail … terribly
I can go beast on Homer Simpson. =)
oooh small BRAIN LOL XD
Hlelo tehre poelpe of Ertah. Can yuo raed tihs? If yuo cna yuo aer a wriedo. That message is for all the people with brains as big as homer’s. Who can’t be bothered finding spelling errrrrors, and are too lazy to rearrange the letters. Therefore they read it as it is.
yeah I said it.
Just kidding!
This was cool and very interesting, I wonder if everyone can read it like this. I thought this was very awesome.
For people (like me) to whom English is not their first language, it’s not as easy. But I once see the same thing in French and, yes, it was easily understandable. But it takes a little much longer to read than a «normal» text.
thats cool… impossible to write but still!
I had no trouble reading it before I read the caption so I guess it is true.
Maybe I’m wired differently than most, but I found this mess nearly impossible to read from the start. Oh, sure I could surmise what some of this should be. Like I suppose that “elgnsih unviesitry sutdy” is supposed to be “English University study”, though I’m not 100 % certain about that. But many words in this remain a complete mystery to me, even after considerable analysis. For instance I have no idea what “iopmrantt” is supposed to be. And as for what the unpronounceable “crcreot ptoision” might be, I shrug my shoulders with dismay. And what is rset, some kind of mathematical set using the letter “r” to represent it? That too is unknown to me. When I read, I read each word individually, and pronounce them in my mind, so such stuff that actually can’t be properly pronounced baffles me. Without these words actually spelled correctly I’ve got no idea what they are supposed to be. So maybe the order of letters might not matter to some people, but it matters to me. I’m serious, here.

According to an english university study the order or letters in a word doesn’t matter, the only thing that’s important is that the first and last letter of every word is in the correct position. The rest can be jumbledand one is still able to read the text without difficulty.
:3 sry i know im not meant to, just thought id point it out that thats what it says
thatz awesome i got to read it crcreot form AWESOME
haha nice pic
It’s for this same reason that many adults have great difficulty pronouncing long words that they haven’t seen before (without taking time to examine the word for at least a few seconds).
For example, my last name: Kristofferson.
More often than not, telemarketers (and teachers) absolutely butcher this name when trying to pronounce it. They look at the word as a whole, and since their brain isn’t familiar with the word, an incorrect jumble of syllables comes out their mouth.

Yes, all of the words in this comment do contain the exact number of the precise letters they should contain and the first and last letter of every word (and every apostrophe) is in the correct position.
I believe this to be true with respect to extent of someone’s vocabulary. I like to think that I have a respectable vocabulary and honestly had no trouble reading this, save for one word. “tancoin” in the piece: “look lkie tehy tancoin rael, neatruled wrdos”. I had a real hard time figuring this one out and then I realized it was supposed to be “contain,” only because it fit the sentence, but did not stick to the first and last letter format. I do find it more difficult when the words, while jumbled, create two different words that make no sense together or in the sentence, such as “boghurt” from an earlier post. Instinctively I read the two words “bog” and “hurt” instead of reading a jumbled brought. However, I did realize that “yellslabs” in your comment, did not fit the first and last letter format and could be read as “yell” and “slabs” or “yells” and “labs”, yet I did not have any trouble identifying it as syllables. Just some food for thought Mr. Thinker.
Egad! You’re right, those two words were mistakes on my part. I meant to follow the first and last letter format throughout. I thus rendered my own pronouncement forfeit…
Ah, indeed, vocabulary is, perhaps, the greatest factor. It appears I have been humbled this day; I’ll have to think thrice before making so bold a proclamation in the future.
E.g.:
Tihs alitcre is clpmteoe bsilulht.
This article is complete bullshit
You know, I’m able to read the whole paragraph, but when I take a single word out of contex, it doens’t make sense anymore. Take “iopmrantt” for example, in the paragraph it obviously meant “important”, but by itself, it becomes a jumble of letters.
This is a nice illusion.. But It only works right when you have all letters accounted for and if what you are saying makes sense. When you talk nonsense it becomes much more difficult to understand because people pay more attention to nonsense than they do sense so they will notice the misspellings far more often.

yep……Homer language
I think i just read this fastly
So what made you have to put homer’s brain…. better yet what does HOMER have to do with this?
just saying
I didn’t realize the letters where misplaced until noticed the spelling of ‘letetrs’. So cool. What’s more interesting English is a second language to me and I didn’t know the word ‘jumbled’ but yet managed to read it. Mind blowing. That’s why I’ll study psychology the next year!
I knew this trick has some technical name , can any body name this trick…
this is typoglycemia
I smart? 8o
I found this very easy to read even though I saw the errors because of my creative mind
