Keeping your mind in tip top condition is so important, and one of the best workouts you can give your brain is an optical illusion.

Thinking differently to solve puzzles can be really beneficial. Brain teasers are a great way to help to improve the brain's ability to perceive and interpret visual information accurately, and with a little practice, you could train your brain to crack difficult puzzles in no time, reports the Mirror.

The teaser challenges players to find the correctly spelt word among the sea of letters. Despite most of the words shown in the picture spelling "daet", there is one that is spelt the right way, "date".

According to Freshers Live, only 2% of people can find the word "date" in the image. You'll have to be speedy if you want to count yourself in the top bracket too - as you only have 18 seconds to find it.
