You may have seen scrambled sentences like this in an email and wondered how it’s possible to fully understand words that have been completely scrambled. The key to understanding these seemingly scrambled words is that they aren’t in fact fully scrambled. Apparently, we are able to fully comprehend what is being written because the first and last letters of a word stay the same, while everything in between is scrambled. For example, the word scrambled is much easier to decipher if it is written like scambreld than if it were written like srdalcmeb . With that said, even with the first and last letters staying the same, why are we able to comprehend these words so easily? There are many theories as to why we are able to read these seemingly illegible words, but the most common belief is that the human brain does not read the parts but the whole. Meaning that our brains are automatically auto-correcting the words due to some innate ability to identify words based on common shapes.
