Daffodils traditionally line the Boston Marathon route each year. But now there’s another type of flower in the mix — this word flower.

Can you find all 15 running-related words in this game? Each word is at least four letters long and uses the center letter. Two of the words are proper nouns, specifically related to marathons:

  • The country that is home to the oldest annually contested marathon in the world.
  • Sisay _____, who won the 2024 Boston Marathon, the 2023 Valencia Marathon, and the 2021 London Marathon.

Whether or not you love to run, the only speed you need here is how fast you can thread these letters together.
