Wow. I definatly could. That was so easy to read actually.

Does that make me strange? Or can everyone else read it too?

I think the 55 people thing is just put in there to throw people off. I didn't get that part either.

You forgot to switch the middle letters in "can" fwan!
he he he, I rhymed that, too!

I could read it easily. Maybe only 55 out of 55 people could read it?

Yeah, it's easy to read. I'm not sure it's easy to read all anagrammed words, though. Otherwise, Scrabble wouldn't be such a challenge!

It's a little more difficult if you turn all the words into alphagrams:

Acn ouy eard ihst?... eht lnoy aimnoprtt ghint is ahtt eht first adn alst eelrtt be in eht ghirt acelp...

I know this because I belong to an on-line Scrabble Club and some people write their profile write-ups in alphagrams.

Yes, they are definitely great brainteasers. Here are a few alphagrams which form regular words when you de-scramble them:

AENORST (this one has a few answers, actually)

AAGLNOR

ACEILNRT

This one is really tough:

BDGINORS

Can you find the word for each one?

Yes I could read it very easily too...it's because your mind can automatically know what the words are....its pretty interesting
