Optical Illusion: Can you find the odd word in this picture?

A new challenge is here for you. In this image there is 'Bot' in every row and column. The challenge is to find an odd word in this image. Now, finding odd word might seem easy but picking out an odd word that looks similar and resembles all other words will definitely be a tough job.

Somewhere in this blue and black picture, the odd word "Bat" is hidden, but is surrounded by decoys.

This optical illusion challenges you to take a closer look at this picture and spot the word in under five seconds.

It makes for an incredible brain-training exercise to concentrate and deep dive into things while thinking out of the box.

Who doesn't love developing their cognitive and observational skills when they are given a free five minutes?

But some people were left scratching their heads about this brain teaser.

For those who cannot see it, do not worry because we have the answer.

If you are to adjust your eyes for just a second, you shall notice something suspicious in the top left corner.

Optical illusions are challenging mental games. In order to solve such puzzles fast, we pay attention to important patterns. First of all, go through the list of words and look for categories. Then, mentally group together similar words in each category and easily find the odd word. Sometimes the odd word will not become apparent based on category alone. So, then look for subtle differences in spelling, meaning, or context.

A key factor to use to solve optical illusions easily is practice; practice is key. The more you solve optical illusions, the faster your brain becomes in detecting the pattern and anomaly. Gradually, your mind will be highly efficient to instantly locate the odd word in puzzles.
