Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different scramble modes?

There are 3 modes: 1) Preserve First/Last - only scrambles middle letters, keeping words readable (Hlelo wlord); 2) Full Scramble - completely scrambles all letters for maximum challenge; 3) Vowel Scramble - only scrambles vowel positions for moderate difficulty.

Why is preserve first/last mode readable?

Research shows that as long as the first and last letters stay in place, humans can still read scrambled words based on context and word shape. This makes it perfect for creating challenging but solvable puzzles.

How is this useful for word puzzles?

You can create word scramble puzzles for educational materials, brain teasers, or games. Preserve mode creates solvable puzzles, full mode creates harder challenges, and vowel mode offers medium difficulty.

Can this test spell checkers?

Yes! Scrambled words help test if spell checkers and autocorrect systems can identify intended words from jumbled letters. This is essential QA for keyboard apps, text editors, and search engines with typo tolerance.

What is vowel scramble mode?

Vowel scramble only rearranges vowels (a, e, i, o, u) while keeping consonants in place. This creates moderate-difficulty puzzles that are harder than preserve mode but easier than full scramble. Example: 'beautiful' → 'beutafiul'.

Are short words scrambled?

No. Words with 2 or fewer letters (like 'I', 'am', 'to', 'at') are left unchanged because scrambling them would either have no effect or make them unrecognizable. Only words with 3+ letters are scrambled.

How does this help cognitive research?

Scrambled words demonstrate how the brain processes text. The preserve mode shows that we recognize word shapes and use context, not just letter order. This is valuable for reading comprehension research and educational psychology.
