About Omeletter, in 50 words
Omeletter is a daily word game made in Sydney. Each day brings four short puzzles in which every answer is the one before it with a letter added or taken away and the letters rearranged. Every clue is set by a human. It is free on the web, iPhone and Android, with no ads.
About Omeletter, at more length
Omeletter is a daily word game made in Sydney by James (Aver). There are four short puzzles each day, chosen from nine kinds. In most of them each answer is the one before it with a letter added or taken away and the letters rearranged, so AVER becomes RAVEL, and RAVEL becomes REVEAL. Every answer except in Scratch has a crossword-style clue, and the clues are set by a human.
One of the nine, Double Yolk, is the word ladder Lewis Carroll invented and called Doublets. Two others are of a kind I have not seen elsewhere: Lattice, a grid in which every answer is one step from each of its neighbours, and Scratch, a path between two words with no clues and more than one way through. Both are built and checked by a solver.
Today's puzzles and the two days before are free on the web and in the app. There are no ads and no accounts. Players can buy hints, a single earlier day, or every day at once, and each day also comes as a printable sheet.
The nine games
- Fold: fourteen clued answers, each an anagram of the one before with a letter added or taken away.
- Soufflé: a word pyramid that grows a letter at a time to eight letters and shrinks back.
- Flip: ten answers that take turns, one letter longer and then one letter shorter.
- Roux: nine answers in which the same three letters sit in every word.
- Reduction: the letters taken away, read in order, spell a hidden word.
- Double Yolk: a ladder of five-letter words changing one letter at a time in place, Carroll's Doublets.
- Scratch: a starting word, an ending word and no clues; find a way between them.
- Fork: a chain that splits into two arms after the first answer and meets again at the last.
- Lattice: a grid in which every answer is one step from the answers beside it, across and down.
Each game's page has a worked example made up for it. Please use those, or ask me for another, rather than a day's real puzzle: the days are what players pay for once they leave the free window. The pictures below are the exception, and any of them may be used as they are.

- Double Yolk is Lewis Carroll's Doublets, which he invented for two girls who were bored at Christmas in 1877 and published in Vanity Fair in 1879.
- There are no ads and no accounts, and the App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected.
