So you want to mess with recaptcha? The fault of reCAPTCHA lies in the fact that it is used to digitize non-digital texts, as well as stop spam.

What this means is that in every captcha, there will be two words: one that the computer knows is right and will check your text against and one that it hopes to use to digitize text. In other words, reCAPTCHA only needs one word of your captcha to be correct for your captcha to be accepted.

You will be given two words one real one fake. The fake word is unknown to the computer and can be replaced by anything. Lets just type “cat” (typing anything works but "cat" is fun. lol)

Notice how the required word is displayed, i.e. double layered (the same trick is used by Facebook)

The following tips will help you easily identify which word to type.
