Spot the hidden word in this optical illusion

LIVING

Viewers are bruising their noodles trying to solve this Wordle-esque optical illusion, in which the goal is to identify the hidden word within the face, as seen in this video with 1.5 million views on TikTok.

In this instance, the sketchy black-and-white illustration seems to depict a half-finished visage with only the eyes, nose, mouth, chin and no outline of the head.

Needless to say, the unorthodox word search flummoxed many social media users with one writing, “I don’t see it guy.”

"l can't find it."

"what should I be  looking at here?"

Thankfully, @pasillusion provided a handy tip for the perennially stumped: users need to simply turn their phone to left, whereupon the face spells out — somewhat fittingly — the word “liar” in cursive.

Specifically, the eyes comprise the “L,” the nose makes up the “i,” the mouth constitutes the “a” while the “r” is formed by the gap between the chin and the shoulder.
