Correct, but you dont need to worry about capital letters. ejenks is fine. And don't worry about anything other than the scrambled word.

Yes, you have a winner for the worst I've every seen. The Greek letters and scientific symbols, hit refresh at least they are ASCII or ANSI, you got "the big blob". LOL

Hit the little double arrows about the speaker and forgetaboutit.

But that is funny!

eyEnks actually.

But you could probably use ejEnks and get through. You don't need to be 100% correct on the ones that are tricky.

So the image is a complete red herring and I was wasting my time trying to work out whether there was a "K", "X" os some letter in there? It's a joke. BTW, I had to refresh 8 times before I came across a scrambled word that was remotely decipherable

Capcha seems to be worse than ever... the other day it took nearly 20 refreshes just to see any legible letters. If they can't get rid of it, they need to make it clearer. Shutterstock has the worst capcha i've ever seen

Its really annoying and stupid - making a hard work process from every attempt to log in. What do you want to achieve? Please remove it as its mainly affects the "normal" people.

The captchas seemed to become worse in the last weeks.

Please create easier symbols. If I could vote: should be deleted completely.

An interesting article regarding the subversion of a captcha system (time.com's)

http://musicmachinery.com/2009/04/27/moot-wins-time-inc-loses/

it wasn't actually hacked but was 'bent' as far as it could be I guess is a good description.

Great article, funny comments. But real advertisement for reCaptcha.

ej'Enks or eyEnks, agree these are so frustrating, the chances are a bot can figure out them faster than the human mind especially given that they are created by a bot.

So glad I'm not alone on hating Capcha! I had to laugh that this topic is still going strong after 2 yrs!
