OWOT was first launched on June 8, 2010, by the developer and creator of Your World of Text.<ref>https://twitter.com/yourworldoftext/status/15743326242</ref> It was created as an alternative to Your World of Text that allows unrestricted scripting. In early August 2015, it was announced that OWOT would shut down on August 20th due to funding issues. Weeks after its original shutdown, control of the domain was handed to InfraRaven to start a revival of OWOT. The revival was based on the heavily modified [https://github.com/reverie/yourworldoftext YWOT source code] from 2010 and featured a new menu design and a loading screen.

In 2016, a new version of OWOT was launched, which allowed users to change the size of their text and chat with users anywhere in the world. The sidebar menu to the left included options such as text color, text size, and chatting. This version was developed in parallel under the "beta" subdomain. Subsequently, the revival shut down in late 2016 after a botched attempt to create a new client.
