What is Omitten?
Omitten replaces the grid with a single sentence. A piece of text appears in a frame with a gap marked [ _ ] where a word is missing, and the whole game is to name that missing word. The page shows the current date and a points value above the frame, and a button offers an additional clue sentence for a lesser amount.
How to play
- Read the sentence shown in the frame: the missing word is marked by [ _ ] exactly where it should appear.
- Type your answer into the 'Type your guess...' field, then submit with Submit Guess.
- If the sentence isn't enough, click Next Clue, whose label shows 75 pts while the header counter displays 100 pts.
Why play Omitten?
No tiles, no on-screen keyboard, no colors: Omitten fits into a typeset sentence and a text field. It's more a game of reading than of combinatorial deduction, where the hint is priced in advance and forces you to decide whether the sentence in front of you is worth a try.
Reading the feedback
The only visible cues on the screen are the points counter beneath the date and the amount shown on the hint button.
Modes
- Core play
- A single default daily puzzle: one sentence is shown in a frame with a gap marked [ _ ] where a single missing word must be named. The page displays the current date and a points counter above the frame, provides a text field ('Type your guess...') and a 'Submit Guess' button to submit answers, and offers a 'Next Clue' button (its label shows 75 pts while the header counter shows 100 pts) to reveal an additional clue for a lesser points amount. There is no alternate or additional play mode; the puzzle is reachable without signing in.
Tips & strategy
- The hint button reads 'Next Clue (75 pts)' beneath a header counter at 100 pts: both numbers are visible before clicking, but the page doesn't state anywhere what the clue actually costs.

Do you need to create an account to play Omitten ?
No. The daily sentence, the answer field, and the hint button appear without any sign-in. An Account link exists in the footer next to How to Play and About, but it isn't needed to reach the puzzle.
