Gibber | sense, rearranged with JavaScript

What is Gibber? It’s a bit of JavaScript that can take any text you care to give it (a letter, a news story, a poem) and turn it into something that is almost, but not entirely unlike the original. But Gibber does more than simply mix up all the words – it’s a little cleverer than that! It reorders the original text using a very specific rule: each sequential pair of words in the gibberish output must appear as a pair in the input text.

So, cut and paste some text into box immediately below, choose how much gibberish you want – then press Go Gibber.


 

How much gibberish do you want?

25%   50%   100%

(as a percentage of the length of the input text)

Where do you want your gibberish to appear?

in the text box below   in a pop-up alert box

And who have you to thank for this? Well, it may be my JavaScript, but the idea was given to by Bill Jenkins (who I think read about it in a magazine several decades ago).
