**Alphabet** is the fifth episode of Season 4 of Alphablocks.

## Synopsis

When the Alphablocks make the alphabet, anything can happen - as PH, WH and a rollerskating elephant find out!

## Plot

H exercises and doubles up. The first H sticks with W and the second H sticks with P. PH and WH come to a party, where T claims that the party is quite tiresome. Just then, A drops in and doubles up.

a-l-ph-a-b-e-t, ALPHABET!

A letter **a** appears. WH leads the **a** to the next two letters of the alphabet. PH points out that it's the alphabet. Then a letter **g** appears.

b-a-g, BAG!

The alphabet can also make words! A bag appears for WH and PH to collect the whole alphabet. When collecting letters, the bag gets heavier.

e-l-e-ph-a-n-t, ELEPHANT!

An elephant appears to help them collect the alphabet. But it can't do it in slow barefoot.

wh-ee-l-s, WHEELS!

The elephant goes rollerskating. After a few other letters, they reach a lake, where they see S, UR, and F go surfing. WH and PH need something to take them across the lake.

d-o-l-ph-i-n, DOLPHIN!

A dolphin appears. They catch some other letters in the sea. Then they see F and PH with their letters in the air.

wh-oo-sh, WHOOSH!

Whoosh! They catch **f**, **h**, and **p** in the bag. They return to the party. L asks them how many letters they've caught. WH looks in the bag, but one letter seems to be missing.

wh-i-ch, WHICH!

Which letter? **z**! That's the whole alphabet! They make the party exciting, as the episode ends.

## Notes & trivia

* Song: The Alphabet Collecting Song
* Total words: 7.
* F, P, Q, R, V, W, X, Y, and Z are the only Alphabet letters that do not make any word.
* C, D, G, I, J, K, M, N, O, Q, V, X, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
	+ They only appear as Alphabet letters in this episode.
* Q is the only Alphabet letter that is not seen jumping in the bag.
* F's sound is hard to hear in this episode because she makes the same sound as PH. However her only solo line is "Fun!"
* B and E only say their sound. This happened only one time when ALPHABET is sounded out. They don't talk for the rest of the episode.
	+ H also only says her sound as a single Alphablock.
* WHICH is the only word in which a single Alphabet letter (C) appears in a digraph.
* This episode marks digraph WH's only appearance. The digraph only sounds out words by using Alphabet letters, not with other Alphablocks.
* The words BUN, HAT, JAM, JUG, and MILK, made by the Alphabet letters, can be possibly seen in the party.
* U and R stay stuck together as digraph UR when they, S, and F are catching a wave.
* BAG is the only word in this episode that doesn't have the digraphs WH or PH, other than secretly spelled words.
	+ It's also the only word sounded out by only the Alphabet letters.
* P and W have no solo lines in this episode.
* This episode contradicts Making Friends in which they say they’ve never counted the alphabet.
