Spotting the Letter V

A Van, the game's example, takes a little watching — minivans and cargo vans are common on any highway, but you do have to check traffic rather than just scenery.

Delivery vans in particular show up often near towns and suburbs, which helps, but don't expect this one to solve itself instantly the way stop signs or trucks do — it usually takes a few extra minutes of actually paying attention to nearby traffic.

Common Things to Spot

Minivan or cargo van
Village welcome sign
Vending machine (visible at a gas station)
Veterinary clinic sign

If You Want a Challenge

Vineyard (wine country routes)
Viaduct
Volcano marker (Pacific Northwest and Hawaii)

Spotting Tip

Don't overthink this one — any van in traffic counts, so check the vehicles around you before you start scanning buildings and signs.

Fun Fact

The word 'van' is actually a shortened form of 'caravan,' which originally referred to a group of traders or travelers moving together, often by camel, long before it meant a boxy vehicle you'd see on the highway.

For Younger Players

Any van driving by works for this letter, and since vans are common and easy to recognize by shape, V is a good one for younger kids who are still learning their letters.
