Beautiful optical illusion sees letters spelling 'nectar' hidden in garden - can you spot them in 30 seconds
The image of a beautiful garden is more than meets the eye, as there is a message hidden among the flowers. The photo may look like a simple painting, but there are tiny letters spelling out the word 'nectar'. The optical illusion cleverly hides the word, which refers to a sweet watery secretion produced by plants, like the flowers in the photo. Optical illusions use color, light and patterns to create pictures that can be misleading or difficult to decipher. There are often hidden images and messages that your brain might not catch at first glance. See how long it takes you to find the six letters hiding in the image. Those with extra keen eyesight may spot the word in under 30 seconds. Get ready to set your timer and take in the garden scene. Try to spot the words before scrolling down to see the reveal. Ready? Set. Go! If you haven't yet found the message, start by looking for a single letter, like the 'T'. The letter is made with lines marking the flower. Once you catch the 'T', it's hard to un-see it. If you need another hint, once you find the 'T', the 'A' isn't hiding far behind. Take a look below to see if you found the letters. Now that you've found two letters, try to find the 'N', 'E', 'C', and 'R'. The 'C' may be the easiest letter to find as it takes up the entirety of one flower. If you're still struggling to find the message or want to check if you're correct, take a look below for the reveal. Ready for another? Not done yet with optical illusions? Take a look at the image below and see if you can find the squirrel's tail among a flock of chickens. The repetitive image may trick your brain, but there is an obvious detail that sticks out among the crowd of chickens. Take a look at the photo and see if you can spot the squirrel's tail in under five seconds. Ready? Set. Go! If you couldn't find the tail, direct your attention to the top half of the image and see if you can find where the pattern deviates. For those who found the tail or are ready to give up, direct your attention below for the grand reveal. Last try Ready for one last optical illusion to test your brain? Take a look at the image below and try to find the odd animal out. The picture depicts a group of cute, plump birds gathered in a meadow - but there's one animal that's different from the rest. A pig is hiding in the flock of birds below. The pig is shaped similarly to the birds, so you may not catch it at first. Study the photo below and see if you can find the pig in under 13 seconds. Ready? Set. Go! Did you find the hidden pig? If you need a hint, direct your attention to the top of the animals' heads. The birds don't have ears and have beaks instead of a snout. Although some are the same color as the pig, they have skinny legs and wings that the pig doesn't have. If you're ready for the reveal, take a look below to see where the pig was hiding. Congratulations on making it to the end of the optical illusion tests! Optical illusions and brain teasers can help enhance cognitive skills and are a great mental exercise. They can help you further understand how your brain processes information and how you interpret visual reality.
