Alphablocks: Word Magic

Alphablocks: Word Magic is a spin-off of Alphablocks.

Alphablocks: Word Magic is a series of 26 short episodes published all at the same time on BBC iPlayer in 2020,[2] making the Alphablocks return after 7 years of no episodes, although these episodes tend to recap all of the letters from A to Z.[2]

Each and every episode will begin with the letter doing something, with the narrator describing it. After that, three words will be spelled with that letter, and a little scene will play that has something to do with that word. After the words, the same Alphablock animation will play a second time. There are 26 episodes, one for each letter in the alphabet.[2]

The episodes last for 1–3 minutes.[2]
