 	COLD OPENING 	What's the Word on the Street?: depressedMeaning: Similar definitions of sad
 	STREET STORY 	Telly welcomes the viewer and presents the letter of the day - X (performed by Fran Brill), who is feeling mopey. She believes she's a useless letter, knowing only two words she starts ("X-Ray" and "Xylophone"). Telly wants to cheer her up but can't think of any other words she begins. Miles and Gordon come by and learn of the situation, where Gordon accidentally sets off the X's crying again. He thinks of anything to begin with, like "xiphoid". The X is surprised, but still isn't happy; those words aren't very popular. She continues to complain that nobody cares about her and nobody likes being around with others either. Chris lets Telly watch "Everything You Know About X". In a field, a group of letters spell words with each other, but don't allow an X (Brill) to join them because of how few words she starts. A friendly O (David Rudman) comes by and tells them some words X ends, making them all happy. She sees how much they care about her, realizing they must be her friends. She becomes happy at last, which makes them all happy.
