It doesn't have to be TOO hard. I use one with no
backgrounds, just a cross fade and a little squiggling.
Take a look:

It's definitely a "low strength" captcha, since
I doesn't mess with the background. Code is
super easy:

     <CFSET randomWord="">
     <CFLOOP index = "i" from="1" to="4">
         <CFSET randomWord="#randomWord##chr(65+RandRange(0,25))#">
     </CFLOOP>
     <CFSET filename="#createUUid()#">
     <CFFILE action="APPEND" file="#gBaseDirectory#captchas\#filename#.txt"
         output="#randomWord#"
         addNewLine="Yes">

     <cfx_captcha
           height="70"
           width="300"
           background_image=""
           text="#randomWord#"
           outfile="#gBaseDirectory#captchas\#filename#.jpg"
           font="Arial"
           font_color="white"
           fontsize="50"
           distortion_method="1"
           font_opacity="80"
           quality="80"
           bgcolor1="##ff0000"
           bgcolor2="##0000ff">

        <CFOUTPUT>
        <INPUT  type="hidden" name="captchaFilename" value="#filename#">
        and so on....


>But what's the point for the spammer of doing it?

Yes, that's still quite a mystery!
