This isn't a very good question because of how tokenizers work: it can't see individual letters. If you wrote it with some separator between the letters, e.g. r - a - s - p - b - e - r - r - y, it'd probably do much better.

One theory I heard about this type of problem is because these algorithms tokenize the text early, and each token can be multiple characters.
