In the optical illusion, the players must find the odd word Applle hidden among rows of the word Apple. At first glance, the odd word out is difficult to spot, especially when you only have five seconds to do so.

While you are at it, it is better to either divide the image into quadrants to look for the spelling. A good trick is to look at smaller anomalies like extra letters or unusual spacing, since the way 'Apple' and 'Applle' are spelled is slightly different.
