This test asks you to spot what’s hidden in each lot of dots, with a letter of the alphabet lurking in each grid.

It sounds simple, but the letters are almost the exact same colour as the surrounding sea of dots – making it very tough to spot what’s hiding in each picture.

To help you out, each question comes with four options, but it’s still a surprisingly challenging quiz.

Created on , the quiz has a different colour scheme for each fiendish level, with some of the questions much harder than others.

In some stages it seems almost impossible to distinguish between different shades of the same colour, but don’t despair – the answers can be seen below in full.

If you manage to pass, you deserve some serious congratulations, and can be pleased that you have exemplary eyesight.

If you manage to spot all the letters, the message from Playbuzz reads: “That was AMAZING!

“Not only did you pass, the fact that you were able to see all the letters across the spectrum proves that you have incredible vision and a particularly trained eye.

“This means that you can see better than the average person, and live in a more colourful, vivid world.”

Playbuzz users discussed how they fared on Facebook, with one person saying: “Highly imaginative... I think I was imagining some of the letters, but I passed. I am not sure what that really proves but I passed.”

Another dotty user joked: “I passed....with flying colours...”

The fiendish test is just one of many head-scratchers which have been flying around the internet in the last few weeks.

A missing word puzzle made a stir recently, asking people to fill all three blanks with the same letters in the same order to make a sentence that is both sensible and grammatically correct.

What goes in the blanks?

“The ______ doctor was ______ to operate because he had ______”

Notable answers included ‘prepared’ and ‘qualified’, although neither of these were quite right.

The trick is not to look for a single word which fits perfectly, since the challenge asks you to use “the same letters in the same order” rather than the same word.

The words you’re after are ‘notable’, ‘not able’ and ‘no table’.

This makes the sentence: “The notable doctor was not able to operate because he had no table.”
