I'll try to explain it. We have several A to Z themed challenges. In this case for each letter we're trying to find a talent, ability or super-power that starts with a letter for each one of the letters from A to Z.
We can use book titles, character abilities, or spell-it-outs (as the speed in the example)
Did I made sense?
