Look at the chart below and quickly say the color, not the word. This prooves how our brain uses each side of the brain for different action: your right side of the brain want’s you to say the color, but the left side insists on reading the word!

    When I was little I had a large page with this on it (Mom cut it from some magazine) and I would spend all of my free time trying to do it. I finally said all of the colors around age 10 or so, and to this day I can still do it.

  11. th says:

    the trick to doing it correctly a quickly is to blur your eyes, because you will just see a blurry blob.

  12. T H O says:

    just cross your eyes and it is no problem

  13. Hai says:

    ha! THO’s idea is funny! and works!!

  14. mina says:

    haha you’re right THO and Hai, but that’s just cause it get’s all blurry…

  15. Mike says:

    The trick is to not read the words. Just look at the last letter of each word and say the color of the letter.

  19. Rayne says:

    Is the last “yellow” supposed to be blue or purple?

  20. Rayne says:

    Oh, wait… It’s purple. I just wasn’t sure because there is only one word with purple colouring.

  39. Anonymous says:

    I would imagine that people who are better/faster readers would have a more difficult time with this problem. This puzzle is easy for me because I can force myself to focus on a single letter and not read the entire word – but my sister (who is like a super speed-reader – an entire 300 pg book in one evening) found this to be hard.

  40. Wildo says:

    It’s easy if you know how to read

  41. 2 good 4 this says:

    try this with the color names written in a non common language for you, like norwegian (for me)… our brain cheats us

  48. qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm says:

    iv dne smthing lke tht on a game clled brain age

  49. aaron says:

    Women are better at multitasking because they can’t focus on one thing at a time. Besides, the easiest way is not backwards, the best way is to look at only one letter.

  50. Anonymous says:

    well i did it first time cool!!!
    then realised i had miss read what you were ment to do so was just reading the words!! doh!!
    so tried again (the right way) and struggled, but was proud as i had a brain injury 3 yrs ago! and did better than i thought
