Inspired by this accidental misspelling

If you could read the title, then you already know what the challenge is about. If not, then I'll tell you. Easy: simply take each word (single space delimited), and swap the positions of the first two letters. You may assume that the input will contain only lowercase ASCII letters and spaces and that there will be no one-letter words. You many optionally take a list of words instead of a sentence.

Testcases

hello world -> ehllo owrld
this is an easy challenge -> htis si na aesy hcallenge
reverse the first two letters of each word -> erverse hte ifrst wto eltters fo aech owrd
pptx is one of ooxml format -> pptx si noe fo ooxml ofrmat
(empty) -> (empty)

x86-64 machine code, 12 bytes

B0 20 66 C1 07 08 AE 72 FD 74 F7 C3

Try it online!

Following the standard calling convention for Unix-like systems (from the System V AMD64 ABI), this takes the address of the input, as a null-terminated byte string, in RDI, and modifies the string in place.

In assembly:

f:
    mov al, ' '     # Set AL to the ASCII code of the space.
nextword:
    rol WORD PTR [rdi], 8   # Rotate 2 bytes at the address RDI left by 8 bits.
                            # This swaps the current and next characters.
nextletter:
    scasb           # Compare AL with the current character, advancing the pointer.
    jb nextletter   # Jump back if AL is less than the character read.
    je nextword     # Jump back further if AL is equal to the character read.
    ret             # Return (if AL is greater than the character read).

 Σ    #  (Stable) sort its characters by:
  N   #   Where the 0-based index

The N≠ will make the 0-based indices of the characters in each word [1,0,1,1,1,...], basically putting the second character at the front.

żḢF)

A monadic Link that takes, as allowed in the comments, a list of words and yields a list of words.

Try it online!

How?

żḢF) - Link: list of lists of characters, words  e.g. [..., "upend", ...]
   ) - for each word:                                       
 Ḣ   -   head (word) -> remove and get the first character  "u"
ż    -   (beheaded word) zip with (head character)          ["pu","e","n","d"]
  F  -   flatten that back into to a list of characters     "puend"

Also requires no empty words, also allowed in the comments (as would yield a zero).

Note: I would say that the F is necessary since without this flatten a callable link would return each new word as a list of lists of characters while as a full program it would smash the characters together when it prints.

Brachylog, 9 8 bytes

{pᶠkt↔}ᵐ

Try it online!

An extremely stupid solution but shorter than my initial, more straightforward idea.

-1 byte thanks to @UnrelatedString with an event stupider idea

Explanation

{     }ᵐ    Map for each word:
 pᶠ           Find all permutations of the word
   kt         Get the penultimate one
     ↔        Reverse it

This works because p will always try permutations in the same order, and it happens that the penultimate one is the input in reverse order, with the last two characters swapped. It also works for 2 letter words because the penultimate permutation here will be the first one, i.e. the identity, and reversing it is the same as swapping the two characters.

Piet + ascii-piet, 28 25 bytes (13×2=26 codels)

tU?QjCuJsNrMbQvQsQjIJjMmm

Try Piet online!

Diagram

−3 by switching to a vertical layout, allowing two white codels to be removed and one black codel to be implicit.

The program starts with in(char), in(char), out(char), out(char), taking the first two letters from the input and outputting them in reversed order.

After that, it enters a loop:

  • in(char), duplicate, out(char): Read the next character from the input, and output it while leaving a copy on the stack.
  • push[3], duplicate, multiply, duplicate, multiply, push[1], add: Create the value 82 on the stack.
  • divide: Divide the character code by 82. This produces 1 for lowercase letters (97–122) and 0 for a space (32).
  • pointer: Rotate the Direction Pointer clockwise by the value on the stack.
    • For lowercase letters, this sends execution rightwards and executes subtract, out(char), which does nothing with the stack empty, before repeating the loop.
    • For spaces, execution continues upwards into the white area and returns to the start of the program to process the next word.
    • When the end of the input is reached, in(char), duplicate, out(char) does nothing and leaves the stack empty. The calculation of 82 still works, but then the divide does nothing because there is only one value on the stack, and the pointer rotates the Direction Pointer by 82, which is congruent to 2 modulo 4, sending it downwards. None of the reversed instructions are pushes, so they all do nothing (because the stack is empty), and execution reaches the halting structure at the bottom.

⌽            # reverse
 ⌾           # under
  (2⊸↑)      # take first 2 elements

The BQN 'under' modifier applies a function (here, take first 2 elements) and then applies another function on the result (here, reverse), and finally undoes the first function (so, it 'undoes' taking elements 1&2, thereby putting the result back into these positions).
Think 'operating under anaesthetic', where the anaesthetic is done before the operation and undone afterwards.
