Keeping the brain active throughout the day is crucial, and one of the best ways to do this is by tackling puzzles. They are an excellent way to strengthen the mind, challenging lateral thinking skills with logic puzzles and riddles.
A video posted on TikTok by user @quiz.n.riddle is challenging players to find the word “USA” among a multitude of U5A. Only 70% of participants succeed in the challenge.
According to Mindvalley, “lateral thinking is a form of problem-solving that uses a more creative and less direct approach. Logical and analytical problem-solving encourages vertical thinking, an approach we often learn when dealing with mathematical equations. Lateral thinking is the indirect approach. It helps us see problems from a new perspective and find unique and creative solutions that we might never have imagined.”
If you’re anxious or didn’t manage to solve it, here’s the moment of truth.
You will find “USA” eight lines down and four columns to the right. Did you see it? One player commented on the puzzle, saying, “I found it… in the question.” Another added, “Found it before the time started.”
