'Tricky' viral optical illusion is difficult to crack: Can you find the odd word in 5 seconds?

Here's a new challenge for you. In this image, which the internet says to be tricky and difficult, all you need to find is the odd word.

Challenge yourself to race against the clock and identify the one word that doesn’t quite match the rest—all in under 30 seconds. Imagine a grid where the word “READING” is repeated endlessly in rows and columns. Amidst this seemingly uniform sea of text, there is one word that subtly differs from the rest. This hidden word is deliberately designed to be tricky, requiring intense focus and keen observation to spot. Your brain and eyes must work in unison to detect the subtle variation, as your mind is naturally inclined to scan for patterns and similarities.
