PMUZUDZDLLEE
The human brain interprets and reads words by spotting letter patterns. Now, what happens when you add a touch of chaos? By muddling some words together (but keeping the letter order the same), the result is suddenly difficult to read. As a basic example, the title of this cache is just PUZZLE and MUDDLE combined.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's another example... take this very famous trio:
HLAULEKIENA
Have a quick go at working out this famous trio's names. The answer is in the hint section.
These are just three short names, in the correct order, simply joined together in a string.
The brain struggles to find the usual patterns as the letters aren't adjacent to their usual letters in word structures.
Hopefully you don't have a bad feeling about this as it's time for the puzzle! In each of the below lines you need to unmuddle the words. They are famous sets with one absentee, which is what you need for the checkers. The number in brackets shows the number of names in the muddle. GLUOCOKD and I hope you enjoy the PMUZUDZDLLEE.
