You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the rogue word in this optical illusion in 10 seconds
IF YOU need to take a break from sunbathing and give your mind a little exercise, why not try this fiendishly tricky brainteaser?
There’s a rogue word in the image surrounded by decoys, and only the people with the best eyesight can spot the incorrect spelling in 10 seconds – but do you think you’re one of them?
The brainteaser was created by My Paper Writers, in a bid to put people’s eyesight to the test, and the image appears to show 15 rows with the word ‘OCEAN’.
There is a random word with a spelling mistake hidden somewhere in there, but only those with eagle eyes will be able to spot it in under 10 seconds.
The longer you look at the image, the harder it becomes.
Your mind instinctively corrects misspelt words, making it challenging to spot the error.
However, some people will naturally have their eyes drawn to the anomaly.
If you’re still struggling and wishing for a clue, try focusing on the right-hand side of the image instead of the left. Still can’t find it?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone—one in five people couldn’t crack it in 10 seconds. If you’ve given up, scroll down for the answer.
