Test your observation skills with a viral optical illusion challenge that requires you to find the odd word hidden among similar terms in just 10 seconds. Can you spot the anomaly?

If you pride yourself on your observation skills and eagle-eyed vision, then today’s viral optical illusion is perfect for you. This new brain teaser has taken the internet by storm, challenging users to spot one odd word hidden in a sea of identical terms. You only have 10 seconds to do it.

The illusion is simple in concept but surprisingly tricky. The image shows a grid full of the word ‘pen’ repeated multiple times. Among the dozens of pens, one word is not like the others. Can you spot the odd one before the countdown ends?

Optical illusions like this challenge users to find the one word that’s different. You will need to pay close attention. Somewhere in that sea of letters is a word that is not ‘pen’. The challenge is not just about spotting the anomaly; it is also about doing so in under 10 seconds.

If you can, you reportedly belong to a sharp-sighted elite. Those who do not find the answer within the time limit often need a second (or third!) look to identify what went wrong.
