Word Rails: Word Puzzle Game

All aboard 2.2.3, Riders. This one started as a quick fix and turned into a real update. SHORT LINE Why use big word when small word do trick? Short Line is a rare new mode. Words of 2 to 4 letters earn a bonus, plain everyday words earn a little more, and the long-word and rare-word bonuses switch off. The Inspection Ticket grades it on its own curve, with a SHORT HAUL credit for a board full of small words. Lean on long words anyway and the Ticket docks you a HEAD SCRATCHER. A LEAGUE BOARD WORTH CLIMBING After a match the League board shows your whole group now, not just eight rows. The top three stand on a podium in their frames and nameplates, the zones show who is moving up, and a chip tells you exactly how many points it takes to pass the Rider above you. The header carries your league crest, the countdown to the weekly close and what the top finishers win. Rankings gets the same look, and you can swipe between LEAGUE, WEEKLY and ALL-TIME. WEEKLY and ALL-TIME show your friends. MATCHES FEEL BETTER IN THE HAND Hold a tile and you hear a soft plop, never on a quick tap. The Word Area lights up to show it will take the tile, brightens as you drag over it and flashes when the tile lands. Seen enough of the Conductor's tips? The new CONDUCTOR TIPS switch in the Game Menu turns them off, and back on whenever you like. RAIL RALLY The FREE CAR you earn is now always a wild car. The Rally lesson and help page use bigger, easier-to-read text, and the Depot, map and standings say what they mean. QUESTS YOU CAN FINISH Three high difficulty quests asked for scores almost nobody had ever posted, despite heroic attempts. Express Run now asks for 2,000, Golden Spike 2,500 and Conductor's High Score 3,000. Plus a new loading screen (because why not?), friend challenge scoring fixes, and polish all across the rails. See you on the rails!
