I have seen one excellent use for Captcha. New York Times ? issues from the

1800s ? scanned in but next to impossible to digitally convert to text. Passed on phrases as captcha and when 2 or more humans agreed on what they saw and texted in, then the converted text was updated.

If I understand it, that's how dual word captcha's work. One word is known, the other isn't.

If you type the known word correct, it may let you type anything for the unknown word - unless for example it knows the unknown word is 6 letters, and the 3rd letter is a A, it may require that.

They probably had too many people sucking out all they could. I have no problem with Captcha if it enables them to survive.
