Encoder 2.0

Want to verify if you are more intelligent than average? This encoder encodes text to make it really hard to read. See if you are still able to! 2020-04-24

This encoder takes plain text and encodes it into a format that is really hard to read. If you can, it means that your brain is easily able to adapt to new situations!

Here are some of the things it does to make reading the output difficult:

Replaces some letters with numbers
Puts spaces in key positions in words
Changes the order of the letters in words

As a little challenge, try to read the following:

CN0 R6 74 LU 74 01 N5! 0LNY 4 54M LL F4R 7C 01N 0F P03 LP3 C4N R43D 71H5 M53 45 63!
