旅のはじまり / The journey begins

Five words.
One extraordinary ride.

Wordliner: Fuji Express turns unexpected words into a journey. Your challenge: power an original Japanese-inspired train all the way to a viewpoint at the base of Mount Fuji.

A small rack. A big departure.

Each round gives you seven letters and one word to submit. A valid three-letter word can keep the train moving; a rarer, longer discovery can send it soaring. The landscape changes as you earn distance, from city lights to the coast and foothills.

Every ride has a destination to remember. Earn your way through Sunset Station, Neon Crossing, Seabreeze Pier, and Cedar Pass toward Fuji Viewpoint. Stops follow your distance, rather than the round number. Every journey gets five rounds, and points keep counting after arrival.

A daily ritual, in development.

The daily journey is designed around one shared puzzle each UTC day, with no login required. Its earned train journey stays fixed; a separate final comparison becomes available after the day closes. Rarity estimates and small player samples are labelled honestly.

New daily puzzles share the demo's 400 km goal and stronger length bonuses. Older saved daily journeys keep their original 450 km goal and awards. Returning to a journey restores its own rules; public daily launch remains disabled.

An original railway world.

Wordliner draws on the atmosphere of Japanese station signs, sunset platforms, and retro games. Its lettering, scenery, train, and optional synthesized sounds are original. English guidance accompanies Japanese lettering, and reduced-motion preferences are respected.
