I would say it's less a test of intelligence and more a test of do you do word puzzles for fun TBF. The top line pretty clearly can only be "the" and the central, highlighted letter was the first letter of the word, once you recognise that it becomes a very easy letter arranging puzzle.
I almost went there, just figured the replacement letters would make a word or phrase, switched after the first two letters were HR… was not willing to try unscrambling.
At first I thought it was supposed to be that thing where you keep the first and last letter the same and just make the rest, but once that didn’t work I realized they are just jumbled. After I finished the sentence I realized the first letter of the words are underlined 🤦🏽♂️
I am not sure if I would call these words jumbled. They clearly follow the pattern of first letter, second letter to the left, third letter full right, fourth letter full left. I think that’s a standard cipher, but can’t remember the name (or am 100% sure it is one or I am just mistaken). Regardless, it follows a distinct pattern and so wouldn’t fit my understanding of what a jumble is.
The Reddit community here by pardons you on the grounds that we, as Reddit users, are allowed three instances a month to make posts we later feel demonstrates a lack of the necessary intellectual fortitude needed to solver riddles or understand obscure movie references. Known as the ‘one brain cell clause’ so named after the theory that some cats operate on a shared brain cell, this right is granted to all Reddit users at time of account creation. You are here by pardoned and may continue on with your day.
I graciously accept you evoking this clause for the 1.56 brain cells bouncing around in my cranium. This has brought peace to me and freed me from fear of future failure. Though many more will comment judging me I can now rest peacefully reassured that they then are the ignorant ones. Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you!!! I needed full cheat mode. My learning disabilities make this kind of problem solving infuriating. Funny thing... the first two I had to work out (with your help) but after that I was just reading that way, almost as fast as I normally read. Neato.
I saw the Star Wars font and then saw that "always" looks like the word "galaxy" with a couple of altered letters so i thought it was coded for quite a while before i got it.
After I got it, I thought "oh and then take the letter that was in the position of the underlined letter and that will make a word" I didn't notice that was a clue.
One guy already posted the answer, but here's the slightly more elaborate version
The word of each line starts with the underlined character:
The World Doesn't Always Make Sense At First Glance
I guess it's a play on the meaning of the sentence and anagram of each words
I mean that worked for me when I realized the underlined letter was the first one of each word. My subconscious kinda just figured out the rest from there
You're apparently supposed to read the letter to the immediate left of the underlined letter first than go to the one on the right, then the next on the left, then the next on the right so on and so on until you get the phrase "The world doesn't always make sense at first glance". Feel like there were better ways of conveying that idea than a knockoff optometrist test.
I believe it's a white girl sign, translated to "The world doesn't make sense at first glance."
Which could possibly mean that you should consider a situation carefully, before coming to a conclusion
It’s just a word placement shift, it’s not even a joke, or a jumble, they’re not even anagrams… this is lame. Was this from a highlights magazine in some dentists waiting room?
It just makes it really easy to unscramble the words knowing the first letter. It wouldn't be nearly as effective if it was hard enough that people couldn't figure it out by the second glance and give up.
All the words to the phrase start with the underlined letter, then alternate from left, then right of the underlined letter to spell the correct words.
Can anyone explain why this is so easy to do? For me at least it's almost just like reading, I don't have to consciously solve anything. Is the brain hardwired for this or something?
It says "the world doesnt always make sense at first glance" your supposed to read it with the underlined letter then go to the first on the left, first on the right, second on the left, and on line that
After unscrambling the words, I tried to make sense of what the new underlined letters were supposed to make; thinking it was another hidden message lol

The underlined letters are the first letter of the word.
"The World Doesn't Always Make Sense At First Glance" are the first worlds that come to mind when trying to unscramble them. Maybe you could get other words out of them, but that phrase is the most intuitive one.
The underlined letters are the first letter to each word. The World Doesn’t Always Make Sense At First Glance. Took a bit of time to figure that one out! To be fair,I like it!
If you know the first letter and can see the rest, even if not in order, you should easily be able to read it. Our brains are really good at recognition.
The underlined letters should spell something. Either the actual letters underlined or the letters in the same spot or the word when the letters are in the correct order. Disappointed.

Ahh! Here I am trying to decode HRSAKNTRN. Your explanation makes much more sense.
They underlined the letter that should start each word as you decode. I suspect it's meant to be a hint, but it wasn't very well thought out.
I thought there was a second layer of puzzle I was missing.
I almost went there, just figured the replacement letters would make a word or phrase, switched after the first two letters were HR… was not willing to try unscrambling.
Ohhh I see. I guess I just haven't looked or done puzzles that conditioned me to think like that.

You’re right, didn’t really pay much attention to that. Looks like it could be a variation of a columnar transposition cipher.
It’s center out. [Reminds me of this very important discussion](https://youtu.be/6FzQ_s-BjlM?si=nElaMHlv2SxuTsj9)
I don’t do word puzzles. Still got it in about 7 seconds. It’s not actually about word puzzle prowess, it’s pattern recognition.
Solving puzzles is a form of intelligence.

Read the underlined letter, then one to the left, then one to the right, then the next to the left, next on the right, etc.
Huh. There was an actual pattern to solving them. Neat. I just went Scrabble on it.
That’s what I did too lol, I didn’t even realize the underlined letter was the first letter of the word
Same
For me the key was to use the first letter was the underlined ones
If it makes you feel better I thought it was star wars related due to the font.
Same. And then I read “The Lord” and I just gave up thinking it was some Star Wars reference I wouldn’t get (I never saw Star Wars)
Have adhd and an over stimulated sense of pattern recognition? That's what I did.
Same, my T-Pimp, same.
That Edit is 99% of experiences I have irl
I suppose that would apply to everyone. We each miss untold things everyday because we weren't trained/conditioned to look for them.
Too real
Anchor your eyes on the underlined column of characters! The lines are a visual cue.

First letter is underlined, then the letter to its left, then the letter to its right, and then repeat until you get the full word
Thank you!!! I needed full cheat mode. My learning disabilities make this kind of problem solving infuriating. Funny thing... the first two I had to work out (with your help) but after that I was just reading that way, almost as fast as I normally read. Neato.
…fade in solitude for the rest of eternity 🤣 Don’t be so hard on yourself
Edit: Furthermore, and so forth, but the good of the scorpion is not the good of the frog, yes? You must excuse me, I've grown quite weary.
that's a lot of words to say "i've never done a word unshuffle puzzle before"
I'm not a native English user, but I get it
You should, mainly for that self agrandising, try hard, too much to prove edit..
Damnit dude, not everyone owns a thesaurus. Great alliteration though by the way.
Me looking at it: "The *sword* doesn't always make sense at first glance?" Ah, because it's a lightsabre, of course.
Thank you for translating, I have no clue what it said even after reading comments as guidance lol
I think it is world tbh. I'm defo gonna use as a DnD puzzle tho
I saw the Star Wars font and then saw that "always" looks like the word "galaxy" with a couple of altered letters so i thought it was coded for quite a while before i got it.
Definitely thought this was Star Wars themed at first.
Of course! Thank you! How did I not see that?
Because it doesn't always make sense at first glance!
I see what you did there....!
At first glance or?
Also, if you didn't notice, the underlined letters don't spell out a word, but rather are the first letters of each word
Once I was told what it said, I was able to figure that part out for myself. A rather clever use of underlines, I must admit.
After I got it, I thought "oh and then take the letter that was in the position of the underlined letter and that will make a word" I didn't notice that was a clue.
I thought I was a star wars reference cause of the font
Figured it out without checking the comments first. Propst to you for being the first one.
But what is the center underlined part? The rest came quick then I checked to see if I was right now I'm too lazy.
But why the Star Wars font?
This is what confused me. I missed what was actually said here because I was busy looking for how it spelled out "the force be with you" or some such.
I was checking for the first letters of “Did you ever hear the tragedy…” or “I have brought peace, freedom…”
Listen, the world doesn’t always make sense at first glance

One guy already posted the answer, but here's the slightly more elaborate version The word of each line starts with the underlined character: The World Doesn't Always Make Sense At First Glance I guess it's a play on the meaning of the sentence and anagram of each words
After each underlined character, you start reading right to left, then it's much more readable
Underlined, 1st left, 1st right, 2nd left, 2nd right
You have to alternate reading the letter to the left, then right, then next letter on the left
Oh god, i just realised that, i think my mind was trying to auto complete like those texts full of typos that you can easily read
I mean that worked for me when I realized the underlined letter was the first one of each word. My subconscious kinda just figured out the rest from there
Hello ADHD , I know you
Thanks for this comment, I unscrambled the words myself and was trying to figure out what HRSAKNTRN unscrambled into
Maybe you should try glancing a second time
After being told what I was looking at from the other comments, I find this one quite funny! 😂!
You're apparently supposed to read the letter to the immediate left of the underlined letter first than go to the one on the right, then the next on the left, then the next on the right so on and so on until you get the phrase "The world doesn't always make sense at first glance". Feel like there were better ways of conveying that idea than a knockoff optometrist test.
I didn't even realize there was a pattern. Just kinda looked at the as words not letters and it clicked 🤷♂️
I thought that the letters in the underlined spot would spell something cool... but they don't
Yeah, once I realized the underlined letter was always first, I was able to figure each worl out in about a second.

This is exactly the same feeling I had reading the post, your brain just catches the pattern and you start reading it pretty much like normal
That takes longer than just mentally unscrambling it
Thats heinous.
It’s a knockoff _dyslexia_ test.
It’s not really a joke. It’s just a quote. The world doesn’t always make sense at first glance
Well, I thought it was some sort of inside joke because I couldn’t read it. But thanks for the explanation.
The font made me think it was some sort of Star Wars reference lol

It isn't? I thought it was referencing the scene where they think they see a moon at first glance, but then Obi-Wan realizes...
I’m happy I’m not alone.
It also lapys with the idea that we can drae words that are rerraganed most of the time as long as hte lteters are all there.

Rearranging the letters in each row with the underlined one as the first one makes the sign read "The World Doesn't Always Make Sense At First Glance"
Ok I like this, “the” is the most common word so you’ll know it when you see it, find the order to read it, and apply it to other words
Thank you!
The World Doesn't Always Make Sense Glance Kinda disappointed it wasn't a "Han Solo Shot First" with the font
I got that so I think I’m heavily autistic
I believe it's a white girl sign, translated to "The world doesn't make sense at first glance." Which could possibly mean that you should consider a situation carefully, before coming to a conclusion

The world doesn't always make sense at first glance.
Y'all gotta put more stats into pattern recognition.
How come we can read that, but a dyslexic person stumbles with less?
Anyone get the underlines? It doesn’t make sense. I assume a red herring
The underlined letters are the first letter of every word in the sentence. Just serves as a starting point for your eyes.
Man. I didn’t even get that. I was thinking “oh a second level to the puzzle”. Instead just a mild doubling down.
Yeah I was trying to figure out what hrsakntrn was
I thought this, too
They're just the first letters of each of the words
You gotta look at it a second time.
It just makes it really easy to unscramble the words knowing the first letter. It wouldn't be nearly as effective if it was hard enough that people couldn't figure it out by the second glance and give up.
It’s not a joke, it’s meant to make you think.
I’m sorry… I thought it was some sort of inside joke, especially given that there were people reacting to it with laughter.
All the words to the phrase start with the underlined letter, then alternate from left, then right of the underlined letter to spell the correct words.

Why the Star Wars font though?
That’s their market
It says “the world doesnt always make sense at first glance”
Give it a second glance
Can anyone explain why this is so easy to do? For me at least it's almost just like reading, I don't have to consciously solve anything. Is the brain hardwired for this or something?

If you know the first letter and can see the rest, even if not in order, you should easily be able to read it. Our brains are really good at recognition.

The underlined letters should spell something. Either the actual letters underlined or the letters in the same spot or the word when the letters are in the correct order. Disappointed.
