I did when Recaptcha came out and it was consistently obvious which was the unknown part. It's no longer so obvious, in my experience.
I believe ReCaptcha presents the same unknown value to several users, and rejects outliers.
- id 13y agoIn my experience, it's still extremely obvious. It's always the word that's less readable (and doesn't look like it came from a book). And if you have numbers, it's even easier. Recently they added special captchas for untrusted users. If they think you might be a bot, you'll get much harder captchas. http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/10/recaptcha-just-got-easier-but-only-if.html http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2013/10/recaptcha-j...

- path411 13y agoActually often it can be the opposite of what you would think. I don't think Google will distort the "unknown" word as much as the "known" word, making it where the "known" word can be harder to read for a human because it's passed through more filters.
