About the Word Rails Daily
The Daily is one free word puzzle a day, the same board for everyone. Letter tiles ride in on train cars: tap them in any order to spell a word, and the train rolls forward to refill the gaps until the last car has gone through. Longer and rarer words score more, and colored tiles and special cars score extra.
A new board arrives at midnight, your local time. Every run earns up to three stars and a chance at gold, and the Conductor, a reference player who rides each board before it goes out, sets a score to beat. Once a day has ended in every time zone, its recap is posted here.
