Craptcha 

Craptcha (noun): Based on the word CAPTCHA (the Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart), it is usually used to refer to a reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha puzzle that is poorly graded or designed, sometimes denying access despite correct answers or having ambiguous technicalities that make completing the puzzle incredibly difficult (and occasionally impossible). It is seen much more often in hCaptcha than reCAPTCHA due to Google's processing power, access to powerful image recognition algorithms, and datasets used for training the puzzles (as reCAPTCHA has access to Google Maps data).

Acronym: Completely Automated Public Turing test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.

Tests that are easy for a human to pass, but difficult for a computer (thus preventing things like automated signups).
Ever see those registration forms that show a distorted picture and asks you to identify the word in it? That's a CAPTCHA.
