Once not so very long ago I was asked how I was able to find the meanings of the wavywords. Well here are two that I've found particularly helpful in that quest.

kcqeo = To ponder, to wonder, to question. But such poderance, wonderment and questioning in the context to the meaning of this word is when ponderings, wonderings, and questions have to do with the wavywordic language.

kxtjxfqp = To study a problem in depth. To dissect and analysze each part as related to the whole.
inflj = epiphany

It should be noted that this is the shortest wavyword I've seen so far. In fact I thought they'd all be 8 characters long because the the sender was using 8-bit bytes. However did you happen to notice that the meaning of this 5 letter word is an 8 letter word. Right now I'm hearing the theme music of The Twilight Zone.
syxqrya = nineteen.

If you thought like I did at first you'd think it would mean six, sixteen, sixty, or perhaps 6 hundred or something like that. And you should feel good as you were on the right track. "qry" is in fact the root for six! "syx" means add 3 and the letter a at the end means its in the teens.
ecwiidge - A magic solution for fixing a hair-do that has gone arrye. Discovered by wig makers in Uganda. Often confused with ecwiidg'aux which is a failed attempt to find the correct spelling of a word such as arrye in the dictionary or thesaurus which makes you grab handsfull of hair thus requiring a generous application of ecwiidge.
puytaftc = The degree to which something humorous can make you laugh so hard that you might actually need a puytaftc flatulence!

Sometimes its not easy to tell what the letters are in the wavywords. Here's a case where the last letter could have been either a t or an r. As you can see there can be a completely different meaning if you get it wrong. But the relationship to the subject of the blog can usually help.

tuktkmwr = “My gosh its sure cold out here.”
tuktkmwt = “You did what? Thank goodness for versed!”

Sometimes its quite easy to see the meaning.

czypb = In an author’s mind this is the sound made when the book’s cover designer cuts off the main character’s head or just his/her face.

Sometimes the sender jams a lot of words into just one wavy word.

sfwbcf = Acronymn meaning “Serious folk with books come forth!”

And sometimes its almost as if the sender emphathizes with your feelings.

luxyfug = The feeling we all get when we realize we don't have the luxury of enough time to read all the blogs we'd like to.
For years we never saw them. They probably didn’t exist. I first noticed them occasionally when you created a new email account. But here on the blogging site you see them every time you wish to make a comment.

Seemingly they are a means of protecting Us All from malicious computer programs that have wanted to set up a lot of email accounts, and now, want to make comments to our blogs*.

I’m talking about those weird, maybe sometimes funny or cute, definitely strange, usually nonsensical, and always squiggly or wavy words that we have to type in to prove that we are not a computer program but a real person wanting to make a comment.

I think there is more to it than meets the eye. Think about it. First we have to read the word, often having to concentrate a bit to decipher what letters are involved. And then when we think we have it, we have to type it into a little box.

See it. Type it. Repetitive exposure and experience.

Do you ever stop to think where these strange words come from. Who makes em up? Some has-been purchasing agent whose old job depleted his mental faculties to the point that all he/she can now do is randomly hit the various keys on the keyboard in short bursts?

I think not.

I think it goes much deeper than that.

I think that in those mysterious little groupings of letters are hidden messages. Look at them. Next time you see one and have to type it out, pause a moment to gleam its meaning.

I think someone, somewhere is trying to tell us something. Trying to reach out perhaps, to be heard. Perhaps it’s a bloggerwannabee lacking the digital dexterity, perhaps phonically-challenged, or just too shy to come right out in the open and Blog Out Loud and Clear for the Whole World to See.

Perhaps it’s a philosophical genius trying to give us subtle hints to the meaning of life.

Perhaps its Walmat sending subliminal signals to the purchasing lobe of our brains.

Whatever it is, I intend to get to the bottom of it.

I’ve already started my own indepth study and analysis of the various “words” I’ve already encountered here at the blogging site.

In this blog I will post my findings.

I’ve already sensed clues to the words. It seems to me that many are submitted to us with a sensitivity to the subject of the blog you are about to make a comment on. I don’t think that the word in anyway is intended to lend either support or rebuttal to the blog itself. I think the relationship is just the sender’s way of providing a clue.

So as you post your comments, pause a moment and reflect on those wavy words and see if you don’t also become aware of their hidden meanings. I hope this blog will help give you the feel of it, so that you to can reap the wealth of knowledge that I believe is there for the taking.

BEWARE - even as I started this investigation I have seen in my other web browsing that this wavy code phenomenon has this VERY DAY infiltrated another web site that I use many times a day. As few as 15 minutes ago I was able to send email replies to fellow geocachers who have sent me answers to our virtual geocaches in the same manner I’ve been doing four years. But just seconds ago, in my ever-back-and-forth-site-to-site-to-site clicking I was presented with a brand new geocaching email format. AND!!!! it now wants me to enter a code from a distorted array of familiar looking, and seemingly innocuous symbols.

Oh they are tricky!

This time its not as simple as just letters of the alphabet. This time, in a stepped up effort to protect the coded message, or, to perhaps weed out those of us less intent on seeking their meaning, they have substituted the letters with numerical characters!

So now I’m not only facing the daunting task of digging the meaning from the wavy words. I will also try to crack the code of the distorted numbers.

I just hope I’m up to the task.

*Aren’t you just a little bit curious what those might be like?
