You have 20/20 vision if you can spot the spelling mistake in this simple eyesight test in under 20 seconds
AN infuriatingly difficult brainteaser has left even the most eagle-eyed puzzlers stumped.
Can you spot the spelling mistake hidden among the decoys in the eyesight test?
Lenstore is a UK-based online retailer specializing in eye care, contact lenses, and eye tests.
They created the seek-and-find challenge in a bid to put puzzlers’ eyesight to the ultimate test.
At first glance, there appear to be 21 rows with the word SIGHT repeatedly written.
However, a typo is very easy to overlook.
Only people with 20/20 vision have solved the brainteaser in 20 seconds or less.
Can you find the spelling mistake quicker than anyone else?
The mind-bender seems to get more difficult the longer you search for the word.
According to the creators, one in five challengers have admitted to defeat and given up looking before spotting the rogue word.
Here’s a hint: Look toward the right side of the illusion.
If you need another clue, try taking a closer look at the words lower down the puzzle.
Do you think you’ve finally spotted the spelling mistake in the eyesight test?

MORE BRAIN TEASERS
The challenge comes after the online resource FishInAquarium shared a seek-and-find puzzle inspired by the creatures under the sea.
Can you spot the seashell among the fish and corals?
You’ll need beady eyes to solve the task in under 20 seconds.
Everyone can see the brightly colored fish swimming among the waves, but the seashell is deceptively tricky to spot.
A starfish can be found in the middle of the image and corals are in almost every corner.
Here’s a hint: Look at the stones at the bottom of the brainteaser.
If you’re still unsure, the seashell is a golden yellow color.
Once you think you’ve found it, scroll down to the solution to check your answer.
The brightly colored seashell can be spotted alongside a larger shell in the bottom right of the puzzle.
If you enjoyed those two challenges, try a third designed by UK-based company Hiatt Hardware.
You’ll need the ability to pay attention to even the smallest details to spot all five spray bottles in plain sight.
The bedroom is chaotic with toys and clothes scattered on the floor and animals in bizarre places.
There’s a 15-second record to beat, but spotting the five bottles isn’t easy.
Here’s a hint: They are a bold blue color.
If you need another clue, focus your attention on the curtains and the closet.
There’s also one that could be mistaken for being another sock under the bed.
