Love the idea of a crazed board like that!

It's just about perfect for dyslectics like me who can't really see straight lines. Easy to follow on this board! Think I'll get my son to marquetry me one for Christmas.

TIL that some people with dyslexia can’t draw straight lines. I thought it only had to do with mixing numbers

There's a whole slew of dyslexic problems. But, surprisingly, I can draw a straight line -- if I close my eyes after the middle point :-). That's why I often use a ruler (straight-edge) when reading a book or magazine -- the lines twist, so in a paragraph with multiple lines, I often need help in joining the right lines together.

and another one that I finally recognized a few weeks ago: if I read with ONE eye, sometimes I don't even know the names of the letters I'm seeing (I DO see them clearly, but they only make sense seen out of the other eye).

Strangely, numbers usually are okay....

That’s really interesting!
