So it seems I was the only one seeing our previous post puzzling? What can I tell you – I still see a turtle. Alrighty then. I had this one on my desktop for a while, but considered it too hard to share. Let’s see you smart-asses figure this one out! There is a hidden word in the picture below. What does it say? Can you read it without any help? Hope my “revenge” works, and no-one solves it! Grrrr… I won’t give you any hints because you pissed me of with the last one ;) but experts will know how to file them, erm… I meant, find them. Check this one for vague similarities.

    Hiya friend…you better remove the tag image cause it says all….’Youtless’…i mean, iam here trying to find the word and then my mouse just got above the pic and i just red ‘youthless optical illusion’…and you didnt want to give any clue??…iam like ‘RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT’!!!

    The example you gave is not a good one cause that one uses the background and on this one the letters are made from the flowers….so when you see the first ‘sex’ flower illusion we tend to find some word on this white background illusion…which is wrong, we got look at the shape of them…

    Thanks for the illusion, nice draw!!

  2. shardson says:

    i just saw it ends in “less”

  3. Thanos says:

    hahaha i found out what it says from the name of the picture otherwise i couldnt

    its nice and its artistic and i like the lines :)

  4. Mia Jackson says:

    Well the file says youthless

  5. t says:

    What the hell does “youthless” mean? I’d say “useless”.

  6. Ryan says:

    If revenge is what you wish, I would recommend not uploading the file under “Youthless Optical Illusion” ^.^ Cool concept though.

    Oh, and if it makes you feel any better, my sister and I only saw the turtle…

  7. got dat at last…….
    to me it was real tough !!

  8. Steve Young says:

    I thinks is says stress but not totaly sure

  9. TES says:

    with the post from yesterday, you may have thought it was a turtle because you haven’t been around horses as much as most of the commenters. However, this isn’t a fair punishment because it is SUPER DIFFICULT. All I see is a J, H, and S, also an E that might be an R

  10. ismael says:

    i found it already youthless

  11. mcon1964 says:

    Looks Like YOUTHLESS to me.

  12. jhayyy says:

    I can read youthless.
    (… also the image name pops up while you point it with your mouse.)

  13. This had me puzzled allright, great illusion!
    But if you were pissed before, because of the turtle-illusion, you should be more pissed now. Because as a revenge this is not a good one – it is easy to see the words: Just look at the pictures filename…..!!!
    ;)

    Youthless

  15. qwertyuiop says:

    it says youthless!
    (hint put your mouse over the picture)

  16. Sammy Jo says:

    I see it.. it starts with a ‘k’
    at least from what i saw.
    i had to blur my vision
    yeah
    and i saw the turtle in the thing yesterday… if i wasnt looking directly at the picture.

  17. Well it’s not “hard” just, bad… But hey, it’s written in the name of the file.. youthless

  18. anonym says:

    that’s a bit hard

  19. Roland says:

    A pity the picture title reveals the answer ;-)

  20. john says:

    youthless… i put the mouse over the pic and the name of the file came up “youthless optical illusion”

  21. MaZzA says:

    Got it, took me a while but you might want to remove the tooltip when you hover over the image ;-)

  22. john says:

    i am glad to see there is this modertaion thing going on. now hopefully you can rename if so others will not have such an easy time figuring out your revenge.

  23. mr moo says:

    it says youthless and first

  24. Anomo says:

    Im guessing it is supposed to say something, but I can only spot the three last letters :S

  25. poly pride says:

    Youthless

  26. blogatoy says:

    the last 4 letters are -less

    I’m still figuring out the rest…get back to you

  27. Wondy Tran says:

    it’s yoshless

  28. Wondy Tran says:

    or youthless

  29. Wondy Tran says:

    wait ,i know it,its youthless beat that XD

  30. Reader says:

    Tricky one, but you gave it away yourself. I dont think I would have found it, unless you had spelled it out like that…

    Please, please, stop doing that. Sometimes it gives the illusion away even before one have had the time to look at it!

    Thanks for a brilliant site, btw!

  31. Ben says:

    Then you try to make it hard, and fill the actual word in in the the alt-text of the image. That is not a smart move :p

  32. I’v seen the word. For the solution just put your mouse on the picture and wait then you wil see the word in the yellow bar.

  33. alijaya says:

    is it “JOSHLESS”??? okay… i can’t see it >.<

  34. liam says:

    Youthless. i find out by hovering my cursor over it and it will say Youthless Optical Illusion

  35. popesantaxiv says:

    Joyless??

  36. Dakota says:

    It says youthless

  37. Martin says:

    To me it reads ‘stress’

  38. Alan P-J says:

    The bit before ‘bless’ has me confused.
    Jibless?

  39. Someone says:

    only saw “less” at first reading your introduction, but the name of the picture totally gave it away

    **hint**
    click on the picture

  40. Rachael says:

    Youthless

  41. juan says:

    witless hahaha thats all i got xD

  42. Valerie says:

    Well I have to admit, I’m not enough of a smart ass to get this one by myself. I got the …..less part of it almost at once but it took me and a friend a while to get the whole word… Youthless.

  43. Alex says:

    I don’t really like this one, though I still can’t find the word.

    The picture doesn’t look natural enough, it looks like the artist has just used pictures to draw a word, there’s no camouflage about it.

  44. Farewell says:

    I think I see it :3 First letters a cursive F thats my hint if im right :D

  45. Montanushiria says:

    I read the word “Joyless” quite easily. I certainly hope that’s not the intended illusion.

  46. jpb75 says:

    Youthless… even if I have no idea of what it could mean (sorry, i’m french!)… so if someone could explain?

  47. PX54 says:

    I see it…don’t know whether or not to post it for other people to try and figure it out or just scroll down when the post appearers.
    Ah what the hell it will be their own fault
    Youthless

  48. Entharion says:

    wow… this one was easy, if you right click and download the picture, it says “youthless” and I recognized that in there, nice try tho… mind changing the file name next time? :P

  49. jacques says:

    YES ?

  50. WoesteWillem says:

    I’m not a expert but I know how to file them ;-)))

  51. TT says:

    Had no idea what the answer was.. until I pointed my mouse on the illusion…. that gave away the answer!

  52. kay says:

    nope i don’t see any words in this one! you win :)

  53. kindell adair says:

    nice one, but honestly didn’t take very long to see, even though it’s 3 a.m. and I’m dead tired :)

  54. Padlock13 says:

    Does it say Youthless?

  55. Susan says:

    Might have been harder to figure out if you hadn’t named the picture :P

    Just hovered my mouse over the pic and worked it out straight away :D

  56. Taunide says:

    #uthless

  57. Jem says:

    It looks kind of like Youthless…

  58. Sly says:

    youthless

  59. Sven says:

    You should mind your “alt”-tags. ;-)

  60. Nancy says:

    is it “ruthless”?

  61. valeria says:

    i can only see the final letters “less”

  62. This is your revenge?

    it’s hard i must admit, but you are to predictable for me already vurdlak ;)

    so it whas kinda easy xD

    not gonna spoil it by giving hints tho :P

  63. M. says:

    I stress.

  64. Sammy Salter says:

    well, the last 4 letters are L-E-S-S

  65. kullkull says:

    Dont worry… i was seeing a turtle too… it was nice, as usual !

  66. Latisha says:

    I’m lost, i think i see some letters but with no sense………….a little hint pls :-)

  67. Panther_girl says:

    nope, you got me. I can see less on the right hand side, but not the start of the word.

  68. sirelena says:

    Maybe it would be harder to guess if the word didn’t appear when you put the mouse over the picture. ;)

  69. JW says:

    I was fiddling with it in photoshop, thought I had the word, wasn’t sure if it was an actual word (thus whether I was right or not) when I noticed the filename gives it away…
    Beautiful picture though!

  70. Jimmy Stew says:

    Not quite sure I understand what it is supposed to mean?

  71. Porcelain says:

    i can see hiess i think, Ooh and i totally saw the turtle in the last one… i grew up around horses though so i saw the horse first sorry

  72. russell says:

    Well that’s not so hard either. It clearly says “bJThLESS” which according to my thesaurus also means “What the …. ?”.

  73. does it say ruthless?

  74. mjae says:

    These are good. I often see kids name done like this in their rooms. Nice art.

Speak Your Mind

You can add some images too.
