'(String) -> _' is not identical to 'Int' is because String does not conform to SequenceType anymore, instead you have to get the characters property then call the count method on it:

if self.characters.count < 4 {
    return self
}

As of Swift 2 String is no longer a CollectionType and Sliceable so you should perform these actions on the CharacterView of it with .characters:

var scrambleMiddle: String {
    if self.characters.count < 4 {
        return self
    }
    return first + String(Array(dropLast(dropFirst(self.characters))).shuffled) + last
}
