Are you feeling a sense of déjà vu?

Well, it might not be a coincidence, that’s because 2 February is Groundhog Day, a traditional North American celebration made famous by the 1993 time loop comedy of the same name.

In the film, iconic funnyman Bill Murray plays a caustic weather presenter called Phil Connors who ends up reliving the same day over and over again — talk about running round in circles!

But it’s not all bad for Phil; with nothing but time on his hands he’s forced to reconsider his selfish outlook on life and, slowly but surely, he starts to become a better, happier person. He even wins the affections of his kind-hearted producer, Rita, (Andie MacDowell), in the process leading to a happy ending for all.

Though we don’t have the benefit of unlimited time here in the real world, that doesn’t mean we can’t take a few minutes out of the day for a little self-reflection. And what better way to do that than with the challenge of a puzzle?

So, here’s a teaser to get you into a meditative state. Can you find the words DÉJÀ VU five times in the wordsearch below? Scroll down for the solution.
