Brutal. Those were far more difficult than expected, I generally veered off path around half-way on most of them. Very interesting experiment, my pride notwit

> I generally veered off path around half-way on most of them. That's something misleading about this visualisation... It makes it look like you got it more wrong because you have a letter wrong early in the word, even if every letter after it is right.

  I get what you're saying, but the cool path thing is unique paths not correctness of spelling.
  - tobr 8y ago
    Yes, and it’s a very cool way to show that, but they turned it into a game where you want to get the spelling right.

      Play it again and try to guess the most common erroneous spelling.

  Agreed, I would have loved to see it more like a detour along the correct spelling. Almost like a character based diff.

    Personally I loved seeing the veering path for M. Night Shyamalan: https://imgur.com/a/Es5Q0nQ https://imgur.com/a/Es5Q0nQ. Everybody said "There's a Y here somewhere," and veered off at a different point. But a detour-based viz would have also looked cool: just a bunch of Y's stacked above the name, each one a different attempted insertion point.
