If you pride yourself on your logic and critical thinking skills, we've got the test for you. The good news is that it is very simple. You'll need to answer one question correctly to win. It's not a trick question and we're not hiding a second round. The bad news is most people can't work out the answer.

Drawn from Lee Mack's ITV quiz, The 1% Club, the question was asked toward the show's end - meaning only 1 per cent of the country can get right. Are you one of them? It's time to find out. Cast your eyes over the list below.

Into, Therefore, Evaluate, Benign. All of the words have something in common. Can you work out what it is?

With just four words to compare, you'll need to pay close attention to each of them. However, it's possible to work out the answer with one word removed.

Our hint, for anyone who is struggling to decipher the answer: read the list aloud. Although it's possible to figure it out by sight alone, you'll find it much easier once you've listened to the words, as sound is crucial to figuring out the similarities.
