    Unscrambling mixed-up words. I can usually do 5-letter ones on sight, 6-letters might take a minute, or at least a few seconds. Recently while watching Young Sheldon I was surprised to see a closeup of a Jumble that Meemaw was working on - which I’m still not sure was real because one of the words was POINT, which can also be PINTO. The Jumble people are usually careful to avoid words with multiple solutions, because certain letters in each word become the source for a longer final jumble, so having them unambiguously in the correct positions matters.
