Brain teasers never fail to get people debating, as participants battle over what they can see in the mind-boggling image and how long it takes to spot. And this new brain teaser from the Solar Centre has left people baffled. The solar lighting company are asking people if they can see the hidden word tangled within the Christmas lights in a selection of difficult puzzles. Can you spot it?
In this first image, only 10 per cent of people can spot the word in under 30 seconds.
The quickest time at the Solar Centre team was an impressive seven seconds.
Tangled within an array of colourful Christmas lights is a festive-themed word and once you see it you’ll wonder why you didn’t see it quicker.
But the puzzle’s red background doesn’t help as your eyes squint to make out the letters.
If you can’t spot what it says we’ve written the answer below.
The clue is it’s a festive-themed plant people often share a kiss beneath.
The answer: Mistletoe.
And Solar Centre have created even more of the festive challenges to keep you busy this Christmas.
Another optical illusion sees the location of Santa and his reindeer weaved within the lights.
This time, the lights are tangled into a star shape to make things even harder.
This puzzle took slightly longer to solve, with an average time of 49 seconds.

And the fun doesn’t stop there – they’ve also created a third brain teaser within a reindeer shape.
Again constructed of colourful fairy lights, the word is tangled across the body of the reindeer silhouette.
This puzzle proved even tricker with 21 per cent of people not being able to spot the word at all.
The clue: it’s another name for the Christmas holidays.
There have been a number of festive-themed brain teasers created recently, with one challenge even making someone cry.
