People in New York City play a game every day that looks a lot like Wordle and is played under the streets. In at least six tries, the goal is to find a legal three-train tube route. This Subwaydle game is great for people who want to learn how to use the underground in New York City. I've never seen one so hard.
You have to take a real trip on three underground lines that are all linked, and change stops in order to solve the problem. After each try, it tells you what to do next:
Green Line: The track is where it needs to be for the trip.
Yellow Line: The trip should be somewhere else, but the train is where it is.
Orange Line: Because it's on the same track, that spot is being used by a different train.
Grey Line: Today, the train isn't part of the answer.
You can only make a change once through a stop. To use express-local switches, lines can only be split or joined together. Every single one of your guesses has to make sense from a transportation point of view. Routes run at noon during the week. Plans for the weekend are made for Saturdays and Sundays.
Easy to Use: It's simple to type in route guesses because the keyboard only has letter keys. Press the "I" key to get to SIR. You can get to the 42nd Shuttle by pressing the "S" key. You can get to the Rockaway Shuttle by pressing the "K" key.
Paths Can Be Changed: This feature makes it easy to change paths, like the Staten Island Ferry link at South Ferry and Whitehall Street.
A brand-new hand-picked route game comes out every day for people to solve and share.
The first place you should go is a big, fast hub. See Times Square or Fulton Street in New York City on your first trip. Use open rail lines like the A, 1, or N.
Also, keep in mind that you can only go from local to express once and then back again. You can only switch from fast to local in one way.
If you want to type in special shuttle and train routes faster, use the single-character inputs that are marked.
You can use real New York City underground maps on Subwaydle to quickly and funly work out your brain every day. It looks good, gets you where you need to go, and gives you a short task every day that you can share with your friends. Test how much you know about trains and try to find the secret route for today.
