    Take a few endless runs through the level to learn where you can almost always count on letters appearing. I recommend going for no tricks or other achievements while going for your Line achievements. The best advice for getting this is to be ok with missing letters. Being too aggressive when going after letters leads to bailing. Learn where you can rely on letters appearing, take your time, and grab the 20 letters you'll need for the 5 L-I-N-Es. You have to learn to be comfortable letting letters go by without pursuing them. Even if it's your very last letter and you're sure you can grab it even if you'll bail right after, play it safe. Some places where you can frequently count on letters appearing are:

    **Entering the school - hit the ramp and jump through the window in the rightmost lane. If the letter wasn't there, it will appear very soon after entering the school in one of the 3 lanes before you reach any obstacles. By being in the bottom lane, you will have plenty of time to see where it is and change to the appropriate lane. Very rarely, the letter will appear in the middle doorway, and you'll miss it by taking the ramp through the window. It's really just a numbers game, and your odds are better with the window.

    **Exiting the school - The letter will be either on one of the rails in the center or the right lane, or it will be in the air past the ramp in the leftmost lane. I couldn't reach the letter on the left with level 2 air, and I felt like it spawned in the middle more than the right. Take that for what it's worth.

    **Outside area, after the staircase/plywood ramp - There are two staircase areas outside. One has uncovered stairs and a rail on the right side which you can grind up and down past the whole staircase, the other has plywood boards covering the stairs in the middle and left lane, creating a ramp for you to ollie up to the rail above. You'll need to charge your ollie and jump at the end of the slanted portion to make it up to the second story with the rail. Stick to the middle lane. Letters spawned here very frequently. Sometimes they spawned in the left lane, but stick with the middle just to minimize your chances of bailing. If you miss a letter on the left, you miss it. Oh well.

    **Outside, rightmost lane, 3 consecutive benches - When you get to the 3 benches, a letter will very frequently spawn between at the gaps between the benches. You don't need to grind the benches to grab it, you can just have your ollie charging and ready to grab it.

    **Outside, center lane, 2 consecutive planter ramps - I previously mentioned the two staircase areas outside. This is in reference to the other area, the one with the uncovered stairs. There are 3 letter spawn areas here, one for each lane. The rightmost spawn is between the two bike racks that you can grind, the center spawn is in the air after the second planter (you'll have to ollie off the ramp to get the necessary height), and the leftmost spawn requires grinding up the rail in the center lane on the staircase, transitioning to the leftmost lane and grinding more to get to the letter. I don't recommend going for the leftmost letter. Just pick which lane you want to try, center or right, hope it appears in that lane, and don't try to switch lanes to grab it if you picked wrong.

    There are several other areas where letters spawn, but these were the most reliable for me. As mentioned, my suggestion is to pick a lane, and stick with it come hell or high water. Once you identify the areas where there are very long obstacle-free stretches, you can always play with some lane changes to increase your letter grabbing rate, but do this at your own risk.
