Has anyone tried to scramble?
I followed the directions on the site....at least I thought I followed the directions....and
my word count dropped considerably.

Any tips?

I don't know if it's the scrambler or if your word processing program is inflating your word count. I write on an Alphasmart Neo, which gives me one word count. When I upload my file into OpenOffice, the word count goes up considerably (a few hundred words!) from what the Alphasmart says I have. Then when I upload the file into the word count validator (I don't bother scrambling; they don't keep the file), the count on this site is one to two words off my Alphasmart word count.
