Letter Run – alphabet game for kids

Run, pick the right letter, learn the alphabet.

Letter Run turns the alphabet into a race. Your child runs along three bright lanes high above a mountain lake. Each lane carries a letter, and the screen always shows which letter comes next. Pick the lane with that letter and the run goes on. Letter by letter, the alphabet sticks – without worksheets and without pressure.

Key features

What this game teaches

Letter Run practises letter recognition and alphabetical order. Your child has to spot the next letter among three options, so they compare letter shapes and recall the sequence instead of reciting it by heart. The 'Used letters' bar shows what they have already collected, which helps them see where they are in the alphabet. In Words mode the same skill moves on to spelling. The slow speed gives beginners time to think; the faster speeds suit children who already know their letters and want a challenge.

How to play

  1. Choose the language: English, Polish or Chinese.
  2. Pick a mode: Alphabet or Words. In Words you can also add your own words.
  3. Set the pace: slow, medium or fast.
  4. Tap Start and watch the 'Next letter' box at the top of the screen.
  5. Swipe left or right to the lane with that letter (in the browser: arrow keys). Every letter you collect appears in the 'Used letters' bar.

Off-screen play ideas

  • Letter hunt: hide paper cards with letters around the room and ask your child to bring them back in alphabetical order.
  • Lane jump: lay three letter cards on the floor, call out a letter and let your child jump onto the right one.
  • Word builder: write a short word from the game, cut it into letters and let your child put it back together.

Frequently asked questions

What age is Letter Run for?

It is designed for children from 6 years old who are learning letters. The slow speed works well for beginners.

Does my child need to read?

No. In Alphabet mode your child only needs to recognise letters. Words mode is for children who are starting to spell.

Can I add my own words?

Yes. The 'Custom words' option lets you add your own words, for example names of family members or words your child is learning at kindergarten.

Are there ads or in-app purchases?

No. You pay once for the Android app and get the whole game. There are no ads and nothing to buy inside it.

Does Letter Run work offline?

Yes. The Android app works fully offline. The browser version will need the internet only to load; after that it runs without a connection.
