One line at a time
Sixty-four lines, shown the way they arrive on a street: one at a time, from somebody walking past. Stop the stage on any line to read it properly.
One word in every line breaks the English. Move across the stage to find it.
Drag or scroll to move. It holds where you stop.
The red word can print again underneath, in Morse. Tap to see it.
