Stay tuned for my next release, I can't release any details yet but I shouldn't imagine it will be far off. Please remember that this current release was not intended to be a final one. Just an example of how the concept would work. Yes I am currently creating a new CAPTCHA that will accommodate everyone.

It isn't perfect because the data it uses sometimes is corrupted or creates sentences that don't make sense. So that could be why you were experiencing problems.

I'm with Richard on the creepy dog. If I had planned it out in advance then it would probably have been obvious but I didn't. Instead I just put in the words as I went with no real planning. After the third partial re-write I had, "Jill walked her creepy dog through a forest." It’s a nice idea but it does take some time to put in the correct sequence.

Looking at the demo I can probably form 2 or 3 different, yet valid sentences from the supplied words. e.g. Jill walked her creepy dog through a forest You are going to have to be *very* careful about the sentences you select.

It should be easier to prove you are human now :) I have updated the sentence on the demo now and removed “dark”. It should be easier to prove you are human now :)
