Wrods

Typoglycemia is a recent term based on a study which indicates that one is able to perfectly understand a phrase even if letters inside words are scrambled, as long as the first and last remain the same. In this regard, Wrods comes as a fun application with which to transform your text this way and check if you too have this condition.

The application takes only little time to install, giving you the chance to check out the set of features in a short while after download. The main window is split into two panels, one in which input text goes, while the other is where scrambled text gets generated.

File support isn’t abundant, with the application capable of reading TXT and RTF files, but it’s easy enough to simply paste source text from clipboard, or write down a sentence in the editable field. Source text can be saved to file, just in case you just grabbed it from the Internet and want to keep a copy of the original form.

Text is scrambled at the press of a button. Since there’s not really an algorithm behind this operation, letters inside a word, besides the first and last are scrambled in a random order. Result is shown in real time, while pressing the trigger button again randomizing yet again.

Although aesthetics are of no big importance here, the application comes with support for full font customization. Different font sets, styles, colors, size specifications, and attributes don’t apply to both panels, with each of the fields coming with its own customization panel.

When you’re satisfied with a specific generated from, one method to save text is by copying it to an external editor. What’s more, it’s also possible to save to file as TXT or RTF, but font customization options are discarded, even if saving under the latter format.

To sum it up, Wrods is a fun application you can use to convince yourself whether or not Typoglycemia is a thing. Randomizing characters inside words for you to practice, or even create a survey is easily done thanks to the straightforward process, while export options skip you the effort of using other editors to create files.
