15 cool word illusions

If you're a regular visitor (reader) of my blog, you'll probably know that I really like optical illusions. Here's another article about this phenomenon, now it's all about optical illusions with words.

I'll start off with a classic. Check out the following image.

Name the color

Say aloud the ink color of each word. How quickly can you do it? Did you slow down?

The next one is a really cool wedding card. When the card is closed, you'll see the name of the bride. When opened, the name of the groom will appear. Can you discover the names of the newly weds?

Names on a wedding card

This one is pretty strange. Just look at the words below. Doesn't make any sense, does it? Now sit back and try to read the text. The text will explain itself.

First and last only matter

What do you read here? Most people will read evil, but some will see the good in life at the first time.

Good or evil

Somewhat simular to the previous illusion. When you don't see the womans reflection in the mirror, you'll read hate. But when you see her reflection, you'll see her true self.

Hate or love

When looking at the following illusion, you'll probably read the word Life. But when you look closer, you'll see the characters are pretty messed up.

Life

Another double word illusion. Most people will see the word "Me" in brown directly. Only few will think about others the first time and see the other word.

Me and You

The following illusion looks like a couple of blocks don't doing anything. Can you see the words within these blocks? Try closing your eyes just a little bit, looking through your eyelashes.

No sex

This is a double word illusion that fits exactly in this topic. Which two words are spelled here?

Optical Illusion

Read the text in the triangle below out lout.

Paris Springtime

Did you read I love Paris in the springtime? If so, you're wrong. Look again and check what is really spelled.


In this illusion you'll read the word Teach and the reflection of it. Can you read the second word (the reflection) too?

Teach or Learn

The following four illusions show faces of people. The faces are created with words, showed both sides of the person. Can you see what person it is and which words they're spelled in?

Dead or Alive

Peace or War

Threat or Pretext

Tiranny or Freedom

Bonus: FFF

Count the "F's" that are in the following text.


FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.


How many "F's" did you find?

Wrong. There are 6 F's in the text above. Read and try again.

How is this possible? Your brain isn't capable of processing the word OF. Everyone that finds the six F's at once is a genius. Three is normal, four is very rare.

Bonus 2: Face

In addition to my article about the faces everywhere illusion, here is another face. Or is it a face? Try tilting your head to the right to see the word.

Face or Liar

It starts with an "L". Can you see the word?

Thanks to the users in the comments, they placed a source where a couple of these images came from.

Gravatar image I also counted 6 F's but my english is rather bad, it might be cause i dont know english well.
Nick   2008-06-04 11:42:46
Gravatar image It's precisely because your English is not so bad that you chose to ignore the 'of's in the text. Your brain *knows* they are there so it doesn't stop to think about them. You were probably much more interested in not getting caught out by the f in 'fic'!

booya - don't get it   2007-11-21 18:41:57
Gravatar image so both the bride and grooms name are Dave? If there was another name to be read, it wasn't obvious. I'm not aware of any form of a "v" that has any symbols above it (umlaut, circumflex, dot, etc...)

:confused:
Marco - Thank you for source   2007-11-22 08:53:50
Gravatar image Old doesn't mean that they're not good anymore.

Thank you for adding a source: Most of these images came from a "forwarding" mail of my friend, so I didn't know the source. I've added it to the article.

Gravatar image yah what does that mean cuz i got five so were smart i guess
yogurt   2007-11-21 23:46:02
Gravatar image English isn't my first language, maybe that's why I've counted 6 F the first time.
john - good point   2007-11-22 00:45:26
Gravatar image That's really likely. English speakers miss the 'of's because we learn to stop seeing 'of' as a construction in itself and more as a building block. There's probably a similar trick in your native language that might get you (or not, now you know how it works...)
Camilla - Me too   2007-11-22 15:53:01
Gravatar image I'm Danish and also counted 6 F the first time
Alberto - and me as well   2007-11-22 17:15:17

dan   2008-01-24 01:43:43
Gravatar image American, wash dc resident... counted 6 F's the first time because I can read.
dan   2008-01-24 01:47:45
Gravatar image also, i looked for the letters i didn't read the sentence. That probably helped, the task was identify the # of f's.
Nick   2008-06-04 11:47:16
Gravatar image Yea.
Tip: If you count from the end of the sentence to start you can count the letters a lot easier instead of being distracted by actually reading it.
ryan   2008-01-27 22:05:12
Gravatar image Is it because you can read or you read the answer first?
Klaus - But not me   2007-11-26 14:21:21

Gravatar image Am I the only english speaking american here? This is very embarrasing. I humbly apologize for the behavior of my country.
jill   2007-11-30 08:09:11
Gravatar image what are you apologizing for? all of the people who responded to this thread have responded in english. The difference is that they are smart enough to have control of more than one language. You should be apologizing for your arrogance. After that, try learning a new language. It'll make you seem a little bit less intolerant, I promise.
Jliles   2007-11-28 01:31:40
Gravatar image It's because we don't pronounce "of" the English way, therefore it does not follow the rules. That's why we call it a "sight word". We (Americans) have learned to look past it.
surf - or?   2007-11-23 21:55:51

Gravatar image Great illusions... I see through most of them immediately, though. I've seen the trick with the F's a few times before, and still it tricked me. Strange thing is, I saw 4 F's :)
What really happened is: the first "OF" didn't fool me, but the next two did. Until I checked my answer.

Being Dutch didn't help me, because after 30 yrs of use, English has become like second nature to me.

Gravatar image My gf who is Japanese got the Paris one 1st time where as I read it and read it and only got it having read the posts.I'm English. I got 6 f's.Yay. I am wondering
whether the F's in "of" are easily missed because , yes it's a common word but also phonetically it's more "ov" than "of" so the F dissapears.

Gravatar image Considering that some people might like to use "The Paomnnehal Pweor of the Hmuan Mnid" to make the case that proofreaders are spelling nazis who are wasting our time with their nitpicking, it's interesting to note that this passage itself contains a typo in the "word" rscheearch. Two, in fact. Compare it with the intended word researcher.

Gravatar image The way to find the 6F's is counting them. Really.

Lots of people would read the text and count the F's while reading, completely disregarding the use in "of".

People who really search for it, mostly because they are already aware that it might have more than expected, should find the 6F's.
martynka   2007-11-24 00:07:44
Gravatar image i don`t understand the thing with F`s, i did count without a problem 6F`s,my sister and my boyfriend too, i`ll never say that it was hard,i`m wondering why, cause i don`t think we are genius,
but english isn`t my language, i`m from Poland,maybe that`s why i can see that
who knows... :)
Trino   2008-01-09 09:12:37
Gravatar image I am really confused why I didn't see more than 3 F's even after reading very slowly and looking at each word one by one. Hmmmm... of course, now I do see all six!


Bonus: How many "f" did you see in the above paragraph?







Answer: 3, "F" does not count. And if I am wrong, I wouldn't doubt it. :-)

Sulphur is spelt 'ph' although it is now becoming more commonly spelt with an f. I also know an American who insists that 'funner' is a word, no matter how many dictionaries we show her.

I'm a BRITISH English-speaker. For the record: most over nations learn US English NOT British English in school as it is perceived to be for useful.

I'm not saying I like the situation, but that did need clarification. As a separate nation the US can choose to spell/pronounce words however the hell they want, just so long as it doesn't get imposed on us, as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, and I got 6 Fs. I'm not pedantic and I tend to read fast. So I guess maybe I just am clever.

Also, if you try to pronounce those words, you can see the point of correct spelling. Promoting ignorance is a real problem in the world. Being proud of one's ignorance is far worse.

Who are Clave and Daire? Are those Danish names? Is Denmark like the part of England where they only eat pastries?
The the illusion where it says "I love Paris in the the springtime" is that the person who wrote it doesn't love Paris in the the springtime. They were just being ironic. Or ambidextrous. I always get those two mixed up, like Siegfried and Roy.

Chronus - About the 6 "F"s   2008-02-23 19:44:58
Gravatar image Actually, our brains are perfectly capable of processing the word "of". If they weren't, we wouldn't be able to read "of" at all.
Most of us are just so used to denouncing it as a minor word that's usually ignored, for example, it's never capitalized in the titles of books, films, etc.
Also, the error could be phonetic at the same time.
Phonetically, "of" would be spelled "ove" and, looking back at the previous trick involving the scrambled letters, we have mostly committed words to memory and our brains normally don't (not I didn't say can't) process the "f" in "of" because it's not really necessary.
