Stet on Mind Loft for October 3, 2026: five news sentences, such as one about a solicitor's client advised of his write to silence, each with a Stet, it's clean button

Stet is a free daily copy-desk puzzle from Mind Loft. Each day brings a short news brief in which most sentences hide one wrong word, such as a swapped homophone, an eggcorn or a grammar slip. You tap the error and type the correction, or stamp a clean sentence stet.

About Stet (Mind Loft)

Stet is a proofreading puzzle on Mind Loft, a free site of daily browser games. Each day there is a short news brief of five sentences, the same for every player. Almost every sentence hides one wrong word: an eggcorn such as "free reign", a homophone swapped for its twin, a malapropism, or a grammar slip like "should of" or "had ran". Every error is a real English word, so a spellchecker would pass the whole brief. On the day we looked, one sentence had a solicitor's client advised of "his write to silence".

You tap the word that does not belong, type the correction and lock it in. Finding an error earns a point and fixing it earns another. Some sentences are perfectly clean, though, and the only way to score those is to stamp them stet, the proofreader's mark from the Latin for "let it stand". Miss a call either way and the desk shows what you should have caught, with a one-line note explaining why.

There are no typos in the game, only wrong words and slips of grammar. A new brief goes up at midnight US Eastern Time. The Sunday edition runs to seven sentences, and a single sentence can hide two errors.

It suits anyone who notices "baited breath" in a headline, and pairs well with Mind Loft's other word dailies such as Lode, Rung and Shards.

Tips

  • Read each sentence aloud in your head; homophone swaps such as write and right only show on the page.
  • Check verb agreement and tense: "the figures was" and "had ran" are typical slips.
  • Do not assume every sentence has an error; some are clean on purpose.
  • Watch for fixed phrases that are commonly misheard, like "mitigate against" or "do to".
