Notable examples included the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by [[Guy Smiley]] (the winner was a teary-eyed Letter E), as well as several song sequences. [[Smokey Robinson]] once struggled with a Letter U in "U've Really Got a Hold on Me", while [[Patti Labelle]] lamented the loss of a Letter X in "How I Miss My X." Other times, letters would participate in various interviews or gameshows, including X yet again in a "Mystery Guest" skit.

The Letters of the Alphabet have long been an important part of Sesame Street, as a collection of sounds or as concepts and as sponsors of individual episodes (along with numbers). The alphabet has often had physical presence on the street as well. Though often included via superimposed titles, background signs, or large props, the Letters have frequently functioned as characters in their own right. In early sketches, this was accomplished in a more simplistic fashion, such as the skit in which a foam, undecorated Letter W, operated on visible rods, would slowly sidle up to Kermit the Frog and begin to pummel him.

Later on, the Letters would become more than living props, but would gain faces, voices, and even personalities. The twenty six letters of the English Alphabet are:

A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
M

N
O
P
Q
R
S
T
U
V
W
X
Y
Z


Despite some claims, Cookie Monster is not a letter of the alphabet.
