The "unknown" word in most recaptcha boxes I get presented with is not an english word, which makes things more difficult... it's both visually distorted and an unfamiliar word, so it sometimes takes me a couple of goes.
FWIW, Google's search captchas are a different thing, they're not recaptcha.
recaptcha is also a mini google analytics, sets a cookie so it can track you across any pages which use that service.
