Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Big Bird sets up today's theme of the alphabet. He opens his mailbox to find a letter - B, for Big Bird.
 	SCENE 	Big Bird and Snuffy find a stage in the middle of the yard. An Anything Muppet host (Matt Vogel) appears, declaring the two as the hosts for today's Letter of the Day Show. They start hopping in joy of finding out the letter of the day, causing the letter behind the curtains to fall over and break. Because it was not visible at first, they don't know how to repair it. They get the idea that the show's guests will provide clues for what the letter was, as each guest is related to the letter in some way.
 	SCENE cont'd 	The first guest is a Box. They think the letter of the day is B, but they only have two straight pieces. The next guest is a Ball of Wax. They think the letter could be W, but it has four lines. The next guest is a Tyrannosaurus-Rex, played by Leela (who wanted to be on the show, and also loves dressing as a dinosaur). Big Bird gives up on the cause, not being able to figure out how all the guests are related when they start with different letters.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Snuffy encourages them to keep thinking when they hit upon an idea: the words start with different letters, but end the same way: with the letter X! Leela fixes the letter for them and they rejoice.
 	Muppets 	Abby Cadabby leads the gang in a song to introduce the letter of the day - A.
