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.

Trivia

• Song: The Alphabet Collecting Song
• Total words: 7.
• F, P, Q, R, V, W, X, Y, and Z are the only Alphablocks 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 letters in this episode.
• Q is the only letter that is not seen jumping in the bag.
• The letters seem to talk with high-pitched versions of the Alphablocks' voices.
• 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.
• C is the only letter that appeared in a digraph.
• This episode marks digraph WH's only appearance. The digraph only sounds out words by using letters, not with other Alphablocks.
• The words BUN, HAT, JAM, JUG, and MILK, made by the 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 letters.
• P and W have no solo lines in this episode.
• This episode could take place after Making Friends, as they say they’ve never counted the alphabet. However, it could possibly be a simple continuity error.
• When the letters party, the instrumental of the song "I'm X" occurs.
• Debatable error: There were errors when sounding out several words. The Alphablocks sounded out the word "alphabet" as /ælphæbet/ when it should /ælphəbet/. The same thing happened in elephant and dolphin if you pronounced the latter word with a silent i or a schwa. In unstressed syllables, vowels make the schwa /ə/ sound like in money or about. These errors were likely made on purpose because the schwa is difficult to pronounce on its own.
  • This is the first episode, in production order, where something like this happens. The second would be with lemon and alakazam in Band Together. The third would be with Santa and alphabet in Letters to Santa.
