ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

alphabet

Alphabet is a special set of letters that we can use to make up words. We use the alphabet to read, write, and spell words. It helps us communicate with each other by making it easy to understand what we are saying. The alphabet is made up of 26 letters - 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, and Z. Each letter stands for a sound that a word can make, and when we combine the letters together we can make up all kinds of words.
