Spot the mistake: Solution

The trick here is that most users will try to find some error in the alphabet – thinking something might be missing, swapped or written in an incorrect fashion. However, the solution shows that the mistake is in a spelling written in the tip below – the word ‘find’ has been spelled incorrectly as ‘fnid’. Many people fail to spot this error if they do not pay attention to the tip below and focus all their attention on the alphabet.

Users on Twitter verse seem to be enjoying this challenge.

"Can't fnid it sorry. I'm a man in hurry," a person commented.

"Thank God, I read the sentence before the alphabets," another wrote.
