Wipers

Wipers are scripts that allow users to rapidly clear large amounts of text. This is often used to combat spam, though these scripts can also be used for more destructive purposes, and as such tend not to be handed out freely.

Types of wipers

Fern's wiper

Wipes text in a diamond-shaped pattern.

lime's raywiper

Erases spam in a circular pattern. Used by lime.owot to maintain Spawn throughout 2025. This script specifically targets image pastes by only erasing cells with altered background colors.

NextOS was given a modified version of this script that left behind strange patterns when wiping text. This version was set up in a way that allowed lime to monitor its activities, and to prevent NextOS from using it in case of wipe abuse.

Other spam clearing scripts

Roombas

Mobile scripts that automatically crawl around the canvas and delete everything in their paths. Roombas are intended to be a gimmicky spam clearing mechanism that functions much slower than manual wiping, and are usually limited to a small radius around the center. Despite this, these scripts are almost universally despised since they lack the ability to distinguish between spam and original content.

The first roombas originated from Your World of Text in late 2022, and were created by a user who was simply named The Janitor. They were then duplicated by a user named Catha'Vi, who brought them to OWOT in 2024. Another scripter named Prohibit would later create their own roomba in 2025, though this one didn't see much use.
