## What is Glyphrail?

Glyphrail gives you three linked five-letter words and 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, and playing them never costs your streak. Your last thirty runs stay in the Ledger, and a one-time $4.99 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. Clear a word quickly and you get guesses back. The run ends when the budget does. No grade, no streak — the only score is how deep you got.

Glyphrail is free, and one ad between rounds pays for that. It shows up after a run is finished, on your way back out — never during a puzzle, never 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 — so 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. The board and its keyboard hold their layout at the largest accessibility text sizes.

Made by a small family-owned studio in Chicago.
