About Stet

Stet is a free daily word game from Source of Truths — the copy-desk game. Each day serves up a short news brief where almost every sentence hides one wrong word: an eggcorn, a swapped homophone, a malaprop, or a grammar slip like “should of” or “had ran”. The catch is that every error is a real English word, so a spellchecker would wave the whole brief through. Only a sharp eye catches “free reign”, “baited breath”, or a report that “peaked” someone’s interest.

Tap the word that doesn’t belong, type the correction, and lock it in — a point for finding each error and a point for fixing it. But stay honest: some sentences are perfectly clean, and the only way to score them is to stamp them stet — the proofreader’s mark, Latin for “let it stand.” Miss a call either way and the desk shows you what you should have caught, with a one-line note on why.

A new brief lands every day at midnight Eastern, with a seven-sentence Sunday edition where a single sentence can hide two errors.
