Spotting the Letter E

Give it a minute. An Exit Sign — the game's own example — will appear on the interstate before you've gone more than a mile or two, making E one of the fastest letters to check off.

Because it's so easy, E is a good letter to teach new players the rules with — it proves the point that any word starting with the letter counts, not just the example on the tile.

Spotting Tip

You genuinely don't have to look hard for this one — the next green exit sign overhead will take care of it, usually before you've finished reading the rest of this guide.

Fun Fact

U.S. interstate exit numbers usually match the nearest mile marker rather than counting up sequentially, so Exit 42 is roughly 42 miles from the state line where mile 0 starts, which means you can estimate distance just by watching the exit numbers climb.

For Younger Players

Exit signs are printed in big, bright green letters that are easy for early readers to recognize, which makes E a good confidence-building letter for a kid who's just starting to read road signs.
