Just for fun...

While going through some old papers (and I mean old papers), I found this cool "Instrument Scramble" puzzle. The premise is simple -- unscramble the names of the instruments -- but I think this one has a twist!

It looks like all these "words" might have been hand-scrambled. Whereas a computer could scramble a list of words and spit it back out in a millisecond, I think the letters of these words were intentionally scrambled to create "words" that look like they could actually be real words. This makes unscrambling them extra-tricky, since one's brain will try to accept a real-looking word more fervently than it would a "word" that is obviously a randomized jumble of letters. Capitalizing the first letter in each scrambled word makes it even more challenging!

(Arguably, it is not at all farfetched to say that an algorithm could be instructed to similarly create scrambles that look like words... but, given the apparent age of this paper, I'm not sure that's the case.)

Enjoy!!
