I hate those captchas that are hard to read with the squiggly lines and stuff going through the letters. Sometimes it takes a couple times to get the letters right because they are hard to read. I also don't like it when you type the wrong letters and it "blanks out" or removes the text from the form field if you type of wrong captcha. You have to re-type the whole message again when it clears the form out. Does your comment field erase the text if you type in the wrong letters for the captcha? This captcha is not bad.

That's why I made the words very easy to spell, heh. Yes, it does erase the text if you mistype the captcha and I hate that about it.

I have image captcha sometimes very hard to read. I mostly should retype 2-3 times. Unfortunately, if this hard read captcha still cannot stop spammer so it is only to make the reader difficult.

This was not actually a feature of the plugin itself, but probably something to do with your template or another plugin (check out the behavior on my site to see the difference). With the new version, if someone gets the anti-spam word wrong, they are presented with a text box with their comment so that they can copy it before they go back.

I'll be sure to come download the updated version... I like your plugin a lot... Since I've been using it I've had almost no Akismet spam at all... :) My comments.php file is a modified version of Kubrick that was modified by the "Brian's Threaded Comments" plugin...
