Doesn't work if you use really long words that you don't usually use.

Like  aonmendbant  or inegntlaely


(abandonment, inelegantly)

well given that you KNOW the word of coz
if it's difficult words like that
it doesn't matter THAT much if the order was random right?

Sure it does. Almost 30% of English words are based on Latin, of which in many cases component in the spelling carries meaning. (Remotely similar to the principle stroke group in Chinese.)

Well, you don't have to be a pro, it's basic English and it's not hard to spot them once you start paying attention to them.
