Computer-implemented language heuristics

A computing device, comprising:

• a display device;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having sets of instructions stored thereon;
• and
• a computer processor in communication with the display device and the non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the sets of instructions when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer processor to:
• display, on the display device, a linguistic phrase comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in a first sequence;
• receive a first command to obscure the linguistic phrase by separating the plurality of adjacently positioned characters into constituent characters;
• in response to receiving the first command, display, on the display device, the constituent characters separate from each other to obscure the linguistic phrase;
• receive a second command to combine at least two of the constituent characters to form a particular linguistic phrase comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in a particular sequence;
• evaluate validity of the particular linguistic phrase;
• and
• upon determining that the particular linguistic phrase is valid, display, at the display device, the particular linguistic phrase comprising the plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in the particular sequence.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having sets of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• display a linguistic phrase comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in a first sequence;
• identify receipt of a first command to obscure the linguistic phrase by separating the plurality of adjacently positioned characters into constituent characters;
• in response to identifying receipt of the first command, display the constituent characters separate from each other to obscure the linguistic phrase;
• identify receipt of a second command to combine at least two of the constituent characters to form a particular linguistic phrase comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in a particular sequence;
• evaluate validity of the particular linguistic phrase;
• and
• upon determining that the particular linguistic phrase is valid, display the particular linguistic phrase comprising the plurality of adjacently positioned characters arranged in the particular sequence.
