word - A Puzzle Like Deja Vu All Over Again

_{Part of the Community Metapuzzle. The word in the puzzle below is also the word needed here.}

---

Deadline's tight, got worthless outworn pap.
Noxious ill-timed rot with dreary crap.
"Edit tonight!" Tensely, I repeat.
Verses still not tidy- incomplete.
Damn it! This thing's overdue. I'm beat!

Did I actually miss the boat on this one or is there a secret word hidden six different ways in the little rhyme above?

Answer

The hidden word is ...

... DITTO, which means "the same thing again" and therefore is a kind of déjà vu all over again, as the title says.

It is hidden:

• in the beginning letters of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th words of the five lines respectively: "Deadline ... ill-timed ... Tensely ... tidy ... overdue";
  


• in the first letters of "Damn it! This thing's overdue.";
  


• backwards in "still not tidy";
  


• in "edit tonight";
  


• in "Noxious ill-timed rot with dreary": 1st letter of 5th word, 2nd letter of 4th word and so on, which was found by Wu33o;
  


• in "Deadline's tight, got worthless outworn": 1st letter of 1st word, 2nd letter of 2nd word and so on, also found by Wu33o.
