Saw this a long time ago. It doesn't always work though. For example, can you figure out this word without really thinking about it?

1) It would be much easier in the context of a sentence.
2) Some wouldn't be able to figure it out because their mind hasn't been exposed to the word enough.

It works with all words you see every day mostly. We don't see psychedelic every day (Do we live in the '70s? tongue.gif) so its harder to recognize.
