Generally speaking, with something like this - it's a REcaptcha - the way it works is:
There are two parts separated by a space. One of the words is one they know the value of already; in this case, I'm guessing it's 'Enoch'. This is the word you have to get correctly to pass the Turing test. The other one is from an OCRed book that ReCaptcha doesn't understand. You put in what you think it says, and then it compares that to the input of a number of other people who also attempted to figure it out, and then once there is a consensus it accepts that a particular spelling is correct.
There was a thread on reddit once of someone who enjoyed messing with the captcha by figuring out which word it was trying to understand and putting something offensive.
