Takers update

Pond Wafer promoted! He scores 0 points! That's amazing!
There is some unexciting news!
Did you know that according to a researcher at Cambridge University, it does not matter in what order the letters in a word are; the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but reads the words as a whole.

Try reading this:
Red alret! Red aelrt! The Tkears are terlbire. In csae you did not konw, The traeks need a new ccoah. Tehy shluod hrie Rhzziana.
I downloaded Can You Raed Tihs? to get that.
