In light of what Daniel says in v 25, it is hard to escape the conclusion that for some reason the letters were unreadable to the
wise men.
The ancient rabbis speculated that the words were written in some kind of code that had to be deciphered. Among the suggestions were reversing the order of the letters (e.g. ENM for MENE etc.) and an elaborate puzzle in which the letters of each word were separated and spread out to form three senseless words: "MMTUS NNKFE EELRN" ("M...N...E" etc.).
