Lay one unbroken railway track from the entry to the exit. The numbers beside each row and column tell you exactly how many cells carry track. Every puzzle has a single solution you can reason your way to, so there is never any guessing. rorail brings the classic Train Tracks logic puzzle from the newspaper page to your phone, with a clean board and controls built for your fingers. HOW TO PLAY • Read the counts: a row marked 5 has exactly five rail cells, no more, no less. • Some rails are already laid, including the entry and the exit. They never move. • Tap a cell to note it: ● for rail, × for no rail. Plan before you build. • Slide your finger to lay the track. Straights and curves fall into place as you go. • Finish with one continuous track and every count met. The board turns green. WHY YOU WILL KEEP PLAYING • One solution per level, verified. Pure deduction, zero luck. • No timer, no score, no move counter. Take your time. • Undo, redo and reset whenever you like. An unfinished board is saved exactly where you left it. • Short interactive lessons teach every rule and each new mechanic, like walls that block the line. • Difficulty ramps from Easy to Extra hard, with boards growing from 4×4 up to 10×12. • Replay any level you have completed from your History. • New levels with every update. Perfect for fans of sudoku, nonograms, logic grid puzzles, riddles and other pencil puzzles, and for a calm few minutes on the train, for real.
