Scrumbler

Scrumbler will scramble any bit of text you feed it such that the first and last letters stay the same, but everything else is scrambled.

What?

In 2003, Cambridge researchers discovered that words scrambled such that

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht
oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist
and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a tatol mses and
you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed
ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Installation

Scrumbler is a gem:

gem install scrumbler

Usage

First, you should require the gem:

require 'rubygems'
require 'scrumbler'

Once this is done, Scrumbler can be activated in a number of ways. You can use a class method:

Scrumbler.scrumble('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.')

 => "The qucik bworn fox jupms oevr the lazy dog."

...or instatiate it:

Scrumbler.new('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.').scrumbled

 => "The qucik bworn fox jmups over the lazy dog."

... or, if you're feeling naughty, you can ask Scrumbler to monkeypatch String:

'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'.scrumble

NoMethodError: undefined method `scrumble' for "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.":String

Scrumble.release_the_monkeys!
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'.scrumble

 => "The qciuk bowrn fox jpmus over the lazy dog."
