Word Sprinters are cyber athletes who compete in an arena arcade completing words by running over letters with their feet. Get into the Word Sprinters game, an endless cyber foot race. You are runner green, and your opponent is runner red. Race from letter to letter and complete the words to score. There are well over 400 levels in the game. Turn the background music on or off. Turn the sound effect clips on or off. There is a quick in-menu tutorial so you can jump right in. Basically, you just drag the green runner across the game screen to victory. The vocabulary in the app is well researched and appropriate for most English readers from younger to adult. Word Sprinters are spelling runners: * Very Easy to Play * Over 400 levels * Turn Sound Effects On or Off * Turn Background Music On or Off * Reset Levels at any time
