The confusing image in question shows what appears to be sticks and blocks lined up.
However, as HecticNick explains, there's actually a word written out in the symbols. Do you spot it?
If you are unable to see the written word, then here is some advice for you: "Try closing your eyes about 90 percent, and you might be able to read it."

And if you're not able to read it then for your information, the text reads: "Bad eyes."
The clip, which has been viewed over 3.6 million times at the time of writing, prompted people to share their thoughts on the illusion.
"Got it immediately without closing my eyes 90%," one wrote.
"HEY I DONT HAVE BAD EYES," another joked.
Many people shared their own little tricks on how they cracked the image.
"I had to sit [the] phone on [the] floor and relaxed and finally saw the words," a third wrote.
A fourth indeed: "Look at it from a side angle, and u can see it."
HecticNick has been sharing optical illusions for quite some time on TikTok and this is one of many that has gone viral now.

In another TikTok video, the man shows a picture of a bird's silhouette and a dot in the center. An arrow is also present at the bottom of the bird.
He tells his followers to look at the dot in the center for approx 15 seconds and then look at the ceiling and blink and then you will see the magic.
Another optical illusion that has gone viral recently is the image of these six women sitting closely together on a sofa. However, what has left the internet scratching their head is that they are only able to count five pairs of legs on six women.
