Unique worlds
*See also: Special character worlds
.
Worlds with functionalities that are not found on regular OWOT pages(Ex. an augmented interface.) These features are usually achieved by having a script that runs by default whenever a user enters the world, without needing to be activated manually.
Generally speaking, these worlds can only be created by—or with the aid of—FP himself.
The scripts used in these worlds are stored under the https://ourworldoftext.com/static/files/[file name] URL[1].
Worlds by FP
As OWOT's head admin, FP is the only one with the authorization to create special pages.
/wottt
Each tile in /wottt facilitates an individual game of Tic-tac-toe, which can be reset once the game is finished.
A tile located at the edge of /wottt features a slot next to each of its sides that face open space. If a user types in these slots then a block of new tiles are generated in that direction.
Historically, the world has been expanded both manually and using scripts, with scripted expansions forming cleaner structures, while expansions by users create irregular shapes in the wider body of /wottt.

Worlds by Poopman
As one of OWOT's OG members and one of its most notable scripters, Poopman has created a number of special worlds.
The following pages all contain scripts that modify the site's UI along with its functionality. These scripts were then set by FP to autorun whenever a user enters the page.
/Halloween23 and /Thanksgiving23
Two worlds that also contain background images.
The cursor color blends into the background and is seemingly replaced by a random festive emoji, which hovers near it at all times. Users can reveal their cursor by clicking a checkbox at the top left of the screen.
In /thanksgiving23, leaves can also be seen falling down the screen. The script that facilitates this is stored on site at /static/files/thanksgiving23_v1.js.
/Halloween23 also has a script at /static/files/halloween-v1.js.

/ms-paint
/ms-paint is a world that more or less replicates a painting software
/impossibleway
/impossibleway is a platforming challenge created by E_g. Runs on a physics cursor script which is active by default, after E_g. requested FP to make it so. The script for /impossibleway is stored on the site at /static/files/impossible-v1.js.
/cats
/cats is a world created by Fern.
Features a pixelated cat that follows your mouse.
The files for this world are /static/files/oneko.gif and /static/files/oneko_script.js.
/WOTDguessr
/wotdguessr is a world created by AndreiXYZ(along with a team of collaborators) in 2023. It is a quiz featuring all 116 WoTDs that have been chosen at the time of its creation.
The script for this world is stored at /static/files/wotdguessr_helper.js?v=2, and gives you a space to submit answers all while creating a scoreboard at the top of the screen.
Technically speaking you do have to activate the script by clicking "PLAY." However doing so runs it automatically, and does not present you with a confirmation menu like normal scripts.
