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 (one of the finalists of the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by Guy Smiley)
- B
- C
- D
- E (winner of the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by Guy Smiley)
- F
- G
- H
- I (lower case version danced with Grover on Monsterpiece Theater; also one of the finalists of the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by Guy Smiley))
- J
- K
- L (sang Rebel L with Billy Idle in a 1986 sketch)
- M
- N
- O (one of the finalists of the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by Guy Smiley)
- P
- Q
- R (appeared in a street scene with Telly in 1984)
- S
- T (also featured in a Thompson's Tea commercial)
- U (appeared near the end of the song When I'm Calling U where he was saying "Unbelieveable!"; also one of the finalists of the "Letter of the Day" pageant hosted by Guy Smiley))
- W (appeared with Sergeant Thursday and his partner Ben in a Dragnet parody sketch)
- X (appeared with Guy Smiley, Cookie Monster, Don Music, and Sherlock Hemlock in Mystery Guest)
