Puzzle 154 


This is an annoying paragraph, in which you try to work out what is unusual about it. This paragraph has a quandary though. A solitary word has found a way to slink into this paragraph, to fox your fun, by going against all my jazzy plans. What is that word? Don't try to run a utility to assist you, that would spoil all of my attempts to absorb all of your avid skills in this mind-blowing prank.
