This page depicts the letters W, X, Y, and Z. "W" stands for "Wood." The illustration depicts a woman walking through a forest and collecting greens in a basket. "X" stands for "X-rays." The illustration depicts a bulb hooked up to wires and emitting a bright light. "Y" is for "Yacht." "Z" is for "Zebra."
