Legible Word Scrambling

Leave a reply

I was recently reading the Lucky Basartd page on the Stone Brewery website and I remembered an (unverified) study claiming “scrambled words are legible as long as first and last letters are in place.” For grins, I whipped up a Python script to scramble a word/sentence.

I also posed this question on Stack Overflow and there was quite a bit of good discussion about substrings in C:
