About
A rail is three linked five-letter words, and Glyphrail gives you ten guesses to clear all three. Clear one word and some of its letters lock into the next as anchors, so the words you solve early shape the ones that follow. There's a new rail every day, and a streak if you keep coming back. Fifteen practice drills come bundled in. A drill runs on the same ten-guess budget and is graded the same way as a daily, so a drill score tells you what a daily score would, and it costs no daily to find out. Practice never touches your streak. Your last thirty daily runs stay in the Ledger, and a one-time unlock opens the full archive and removes ads. Once the daily feels familiar, there's Endless: one endless rail of anchored words on a single shared budget of guesses. Clear a word quickly and you get guesses back. The run ends when the budget does. An Endless run is scored on depth alone. It never touches your daily streak, and it is not saved to the Ledger when it ends. Glyphrail is free and supported by ads. A banner runs along the bottom of Today's Rail, the home screen, and a full-screen ad sometimes plays when you leave a finished run. No ad ever appears during a puzzle or over the board. In Endless, and only there, you can choose to watch a short video to keep a run going when the budget runs out: always optional, once per run, and never offered on the daily. The unlock removes the ads and gives you that continue without watching anything. The puzzle plays offline and doesn't ask for an account. Every tile shows a shape as well as a color: a filled dot, a hollow ring, a strike-through, an anchor bar. The board never reads by color alone, and two extra tile palettes cover red-green and blue-yellow color vision. Reduce Motion swaps the springs for quiet crossfades. Made by a small family-owned studio in Chicago.
