    Well of course it wouldn't work because then you'd be misspelling the word-- not just mixing up the letters, which is the point. Given that all the letters of a word are present, it doesn't matter what order they're in as long as the first and last letters are where they're supposed to be.

    It works. Stare at the screen until it says look away. Once it says that, look at something else, like the palm of your hand. It'll seem like the skin on your hand is moving by itself. It's a really cool thing

    Try this one

    Those are pretty cool. I remember i learned about that one (regarding the first and last letters of a word) a couple years back on an mmo i was playing. Still pretty interesting ( i guess that makes typos less problematic too hehehe)

    Lol, the ones that mess with your eyes, my brother was like "I swear that's a video effect and not my eyes". We paused it and the outcome was the same, really cool :p

    Most of the picture ones in the first few mins, I got those easy because we used to have them up around my old religion class.
