This was for querying package delivery status. I finally got one right after many attempts. The layout, layers, colors change after every attempt so good luck on figuring out which letters count.
i’d go with WXU86
Shh don’t tell the machines
woopsie!
Looks pretty obvious to me.
I’m more infuriated by the “abnormal activity from your IP”. It seems pretty much everything is abnormal to these CDNs, including using Firefox on Linux. On the stack/exchange/ask networks I get that shit every fucking time. And no, I’m not using a VPN/Tor.
Considering the amount of traffic from LLM bots nowadays, everything human/“natural” traffic seems to be abnormal as it doesn’t behave like the majority of requests
I deal with this a lot since I do most of my browsing through a VPN.
As great as VPNs are, there probably are a lot of bad actors using them and sometimes I’m the next person using that IP.
It’s WXU86 or I don’t need this website after all.
No accessibility options in the captcha? I guess they don’t care about people with vision disability.
That would cost money silly!

what vision disability would prevent someone from seeing a monochrome image?
Blindness?
Furthermore, we kind of have rules for accessibility.
forgot about that one
It’s ironic, because AI would have less trouble with this than humans.
This means you’re a Cylon
It doesn’t look like anything to me.
Bizarre grammar there: “Our firewall detects abnormal activity from your IP”. It does? When?
I don’t see the problem. It’s WXU86.
These “verify you are human” things should be made illegal at this point. They were training OCR scanners, then self-driving cars, now they’re designing them to be anti-AI and we’ve gone full circle where captchas are on the defense.
They were always abusive and exploiting free labor, and more so now. If you dumb companies can’t figure out how to filter fraudomation/AI/whatever, just go out of business.
Tech industry, stop using us.
Thank you!! I’ve been saying this for years. I have always said that I shouldn’t be forced to train Google’s trash software just because I want to go on some random website. It’s infuriating.
I liked it when it was used to digitise books. Beyond that… nah.
Much better when they have the little “vision impaired? click here!” button :(
Nice try LLM Diddy
chatgpt says WXIU36 but i think it is WXU86
Apparently i need to add /s
You just asked a dog to meow
it was part of the joke
Wasn’t funny.
Meow! :3
(I’m a hybrid wolf-tiger-fox. Mind, blown.)
As others have pointed out, it’s probably the foreground characters. They’re easier to read and less ambiguous from occlusion by other characters.
In general I find you can resolve technical ambiguities or possible loopholes to instructions in these things by asking yourself “what would most people do, especially if not really thinking about it much?” That’s particularly helpful for situations where you have to select all the tiles with x object in them. Often you’ll see that technically there’s a little bit of the object in squares other than the most obvious ones that everyone would have selected and you ask yourself “does that count? Technically a little bit of it’s in this square” but if you just pretend you didn’t notice that and only go for the most dead obvious squares you end up passing. Once I realised this the number of times I failed CAPTCHAs significantly reduced. For some reason the only ones that continued to be a problem were the click a checkbox ones that seemingly analyse your mouse movement because somehow I apparently move like a robot.
Isn’t anubis great? No captcha. Just wait like 15 seconds.
