One Letter Off.
Three famous titles. Change exactly one letter, write a one-line description of the new thing. AI grades the wit.
One Letter Off is a word game built for the short window between meetings. The round is self-paced, with 1 attempt before the score locks. Letters, language, the occasional pangram. The team-wide leaderboard rebuilds itself daily, so the only thing carrying from yesterday is bragging rights.
- 01GoalChange exactly one letter in the title (substitute, add, or remove). Then describe the new “show” in one sentence.
- 02ExamplesBreaking Bad → Braking Bad: a driving instructor's slow-burn breakdown. Game of Thrones → Game of Phones: warring families, but it's group chats.
- 03ScoringAI grades each round 0–100 on cleverness of the title twist and the punchiness of the description. Three rounds, max 300.
- 04TipThe title sells the joke. The description should land in 10–20 words.
