How it works
AVE
ADVENTURE
- The first letter starts your word.
- The last letter ends it.
- Everything in between shows up in order.
Adventure works. Adventurous doesn't, because it has to end in E.

Questions
- How long does a Sprint take?
- Most people finish in under four minutes. There's no time limit, so take longer if you want. The clock is only there to beat.
- Is Sprint timed?
- Timed, not limited. Nothing runs out. Your time is tracked so you have something to race.
- How is the Sprint score calculated?
- Each round is worth 1 point, plus a bonus for every letter beyond the shortest possible word. Longer words in later rounds are worth more. Your time is still the main result.
- What is a streak?
- The number of days in a row you've finished a Sprint. You need an account to keep one, because it has to follow you between devices.
- How do challenge links work?
- Finish a Sprint and you get a link with your time in it. Whoever opens it plays the same puzzle and sees how they did against you.
- Can I replay a previous day?
- With an account, yes. As a guest you only get today.
