Omelette is a variant where things get weird.

Letters round: The selection contains 3, 4, or 5 letters. Players compete to declare the shortest word that uses all of the letters in the selection (and, if needed, any other letters too). For example, with the selection VIQU the best word to declare would be QUIVER. If a letter appears multiple times in the selection, it must be used that number of times in the answer. For example, if the selection is TUKU then the best answer would be UNTUCK (using the K, T, and both Us). Scoring: 10 points are awarded if the player finds the shortest possible word that uses them all, 9 points for a word one letter longer than the shortest, 8 points for 2 letters longer, and so on.

In rounds where there is no valid word that uses all the letters, players must use as many of the letters as possible (while still giving the shortest word possible). There is no minimum or maximum number of consonants or vowels.

Numbers round: Players must use all six numbers in their solution.

Conundrum: The conundrum may contain any number of letters, and the solution is the unique nine-letter word that contains all the letters shown. For example, for the conundrum SEWSFNS the answer would be SWIFTNESS.
