Along with these ones that are hard for me to get right are when the letters are repeated.

Repeated letters are one of the things that tend to get me. Others are:

- Uncommon letters (I tend to mentally skip over them because they're uncommon.)

- Words that differ from the "usual" pronunciation for a pattern, like having a glottal stop. When I'm pronouncing some pattern mentally in the usual way I can end up skipping past a valid word because I'm mentally pronouncing it wrong.
