Optical illusion test: Can you spot the odd word here?

Optical illusion

puzzles are fun to attempt. Here we are with a new challenge where you have to

find the odd word

in this image which has Met in rows and columns. Netizens say they have failed to spot the word even after looking at the image for several minutes.
Can you find it?
Spotting the odd word in a grid of repeated words like “Met” relies on carefully observing each instance of the word.
To solve this puzzle, let’s look closely at the image and analyze each line of text. The text “Met” is repeated across the entire image in a grid format, but the puzzle’s challenge is to find a single odd word that breaks the pattern.

The word “Met” is repeated numerous times across rows and columns. Each word looks similar, so our eyes may tend to skip over details, making it challenging to notice differences at first glance.
The best approach to

spot the odd word

is to scan each row and column meticulously. Move your eyes from left to right, row by row, or top to bottom, column by column, to ensure you cover all areas.
Our brain processes words in chunks rather than as individual letters when we are familiar with them. Since “Met” is a common three-letter combination, our brain processes each instance as identical, making it easy to miss a slight variation.

These puzzles remind one of the power of pattern recognition in the brain and its occasional blind spots, making the challenge as much a test of observation as a playful exercise to overcome cognitive habits.
The key to this puzzle lies in freeing one’s mind from the unconscious scanning of identical words and really paying attention to each word and its specific letters. Once you identify which word does not fit, you realize just how slight those differences can be that confuse even the keenest eyes.
The next time you encounter a puzzle of this sort, take your time and pay attention to each word as an individual, and enjoy yourself trying to find the elusive oddball.
