According to HecticNick on TikTok, most people see the word ‘close’ appear on the image.
But depending on how good your eye sight is, you may see the word ‘far’ first.
HecticNick shares optical illusions, brain teasers and fun facts on his page, where the comments sections are often full of baffled viewers.
In a recent video, the trickster asked his 3.9 million followers: “What word do you see in this image?
“Most people see the word ‘close’ but depending on how your vision is, you may see the word ‘far’ first!
“Can you see both of them?
“Here’s a hint if you can only see ‘close’. Try closing your eyes about 90 percent and you’ll see ‘far’.”
Brainteasers are purposefully designed to trick our vision and can be used as simple determiners of intelligence.
Studies have shown, people who regularly challenge themselves with optical illusions and puzzles see big improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eyesight by allowing you to see small print.
And according to ZenBuisness: “These visual puzzles can give you a good mental workout that can, in turn, help you think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.”
In the comments section, many viewers reported back to say they saw both words.
Meanwhile some weren’t convinced the optical illusion was very difficult.
One user said: “I see both so I dont [sic] get it”.
While another said: “I see you’re bored”.
Make sure to keep practising brain teasers to improve your mental capabilities.
