Spotting the Letter K

A Kite, the game's example, depends on being near open parkland or a beach, so K takes more patience than most letters — unless you know to check car roofs instead of the sky.

Don't wait for an actual kite to appear, though — the more dependable version of this letter is sitting on top of someone else's car in the next lane.

Spotting Tip

Rooftop kayaks are the most dependable K on the highway itself — you don't need to be near water, just near someone else who's headed there.

Fun Fact

The word 'kayak' comes from the Greenlandic Inuit word 'qajaq,' making it one of the few common English words borrowed directly from an Arctic Indigenous language, and one of the only K-words that survived translation almost unchanged.

For Younger Players

A kayak strapped to the roof of a car ahead of you is a great K for younger kids, since it's a distinctive shape they can learn to recognize without needing to read anything.
