Believe it or not, there are 10 words hidden somewhere in this photo – can you spot them? Credit: Preply
It’s easy to find two or three as they jump right at you from the nice wooden signs, but getting a perfect 10 is really hard.
A beautiful picture shows a beautiful Christmas market beautifully lit up on a snowy night.
Mothers walk with their children as the huge cathedral overlooks the merry scene and great holiday memories are made.
But when you look closely, there are some clever words hidden in the photo that you would never notice at first glance because they are skillfully incorporated.

The words you are looking for are:
- Reindeer
- Elves
- Snow
- Santa Claus
- Three
- Mistletoe
- Presents
- Miser
- Christmas
- Tinsel
Have you spotted them all yet?
If not, try to focus on the individual elements in the image and search properly because all 10 are in there.
The folks at Preply who designed the artwork made this very difficult and didn’t hand out any Christmas gifts.
What makes this puzzle so difficult is the amount of words you need to find and the large number of moving parts in the photo.
From market stalls and jolly people to the grand looming cathedral and cobbled streets, there’s plenty to see if you want to tackle this challenge in time for Christmas.
Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
And according to ZenBuisness, “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”
The photo left many wanting to find the hidden words, but a few struggled because of the cleverly placed expressions and the amount of things you have to ignore to really get that holiday spark.
In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to find the first few words in a second and then quickly spot a few more.
It’s the last two or three words that are almost impossible because you feel like you’ve already looked everywhere.
Many will end up searching for years or never reaching a boring solution.
A top tip is to review the tricks and stay focused on the tiny gifts in the picture as they will be where the words are.
If you want a huge trail, zoom in and it should make your life a little easier.
