About
This utility functions as a deterministic entropy generator for textual data, designed for cryptographic visualization, cognitive science testing, and educational resource generation. It moves beyond simple randomization by implementing structured algorithms like the Typoglycemia effect, which demonstrates the brain's ability to decode text as long as the first and last characters remain fixed.
Unlike basic randomizers, this engine parses text semantically, preserving punctuation, line breaks, and casing structures while manipulating the internal character order. It serves as a critical tool for developers testing sorting algorithms, teachers generating anagram worksheets, and researchers studying reading comprehension under noise.
Formulas
The core randomization relies on the Fisher-Yates Shuffle, an algorithm that generates a random permutation of a finite sequence. For a string of length L, the number of possible permutations (entropy space) is defined factorially:
In Typoglycemia Mode, the algorithm is constrained. Given a word w where length |w| > 3, indices 0 and n-1 are locked. The permutation set S applies only to the substring:
