Only People with High IQs Will Find the Second Horse in This Tricky Optical Illusion

Optical illusions are a fun way to test your brain. Some even think they show how smart you are. For instance, a new puzzle featuring a horse claims only “highly intelligent people” can solve it.

How to Solve the Optical Illusion

The image shows a brown and white horse. People are asked to spot a second horse in the image. Yet, there’s a catch: while most search for another horse, the real challenge of this illusion lies in thinking differently to spot the second horse.

Even though there isn’t an actual second horse in the image, the word “horse” is cleverly hidden in the brown and white patterns of the horse’s shiny coat.

Seeing it Differently

This puzzle baffles many because they only look for a physical horse. They don’t consider the possibility of finding a word. Optical illusions vary; they can test your math, logic, or, like this one, your ability to observe.
