Too little information to tell. How and where are you planting them, what
are you doing to get them to germinate and at what stage of growth are they
dying? What season is it at the time of your planting them? What are the
lower and higher limits of temperature at the time of sprouting?

Overwatering?

Over planting? (they do better with thinning)

You are not giving us enough details! :-)

That' what happens.

About a week after they sprout, they sort of shrivel, dry up and die.

And it's not because I didn't water them.

Sounds to me like too much water.

Not sure. Can't see your conditions and what you're doing or not doing.

I have a pesky lettuce growing just barely on the gravel driveway. I don't
water it. The soil there is some kind of red clay in the road base. Soil
beneath is classic hill country rock/gravel/light brown clay. It grew there
last year too, whithered away in summer. Now its back again.

2 lettuce from last year are from seed blossomed from the prior year's
garden. A few further down the furrow I just planted a couple of weeks ago.
They're babies. They seem to struggle for a few weeks, then take off here.
