This only works for words you're used to.  When you Randomulate "Randomulate", you get a word that is not instantly recognizable.

When I first heard of that study or whatever, I let my insane OCDness take over and did up a JS bookmarklet version of that, sorta. But instead of just being completely randomly mixed up, it had a bit of an algorithm (based on # of letters in a 4+letter word) so it could be "unmixedup" if needed; so it was sorta-human-readable output but not machine-readable (i.e. ECHELON, Kiss My Ash!) yet could be reverted back to original if necessary.



Maybe I'll find it at home tonight if I remember, pretty neat little toy ;)



Anyone else annoyed that this guy is doing the mixing up SERVER SIDE? I mean, yeesh, how complex could the algo be, ya trying to hide yer genius or something buddy?[/cynical]
