"You’ve probably seen it on social media before: a paragraph of scrambled text
that looks like nonsense at first glance, yet somehow you can read it with
surprising ease.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist
and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you
can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not
raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
This effect, often playfully referred to as typoglycemia, is frequently shared
online as a quirky insight into how our brains work.
But this viral claim is only part of the story. To understand why it works, we
need to look at how the brain actually processes written language."
