Scrambled Greek Exercises to Measure Reading Fluency

I am confident that most, if not all of you, are aware of the Cambridge study which found:
it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I was thinking about this today and was wondering if a similar type of phenomenon occurs in Greek. I wouldn't think it would work with the first and last letters of a Greek word as in English, but is there a similar phenomenon? If so, do you think it could be used as a means to gauge reading fluency?
I apologize if this question has been raised before. I did a search and didn't see anything like it, though I may have missed it due to my computer incompetence.
