It seems to not care what the rest looks like. Although it doesn't let me pass if the first 3-4 characters are completely different. What the hell? lol.

There are 2 words. One of which the system knows, the other which the system is unsure of. The entire point is to present multiple words that are readable to humans, but proven unreadable by bots. So as long as you answer the actual key word correctly, you could technically input whatever you wanted for the variable word.

Again, this is something you, as a human, can logically determine. A bot will see a mass of letters an be unable to differentiate them. The main goal of reCAPTCHA is to provide a next level of spam bot prevention while using wasted human cycles (re: distributed human computing) to help translate books to digital text.
