WordWorld is a very odd preschool show that centers on Funny Animals and a non-anthro dog—who are all living words. They can build new "WordThings" out of letters. Whether you need a house, pie, or rocket, just line up the appropriate letters and spell it into being.The series premiered on PBS on September 3, 2007, and was produced by WTTW Chicago. The show ended on January 24, 2011 and only produced three seasons, but it could still be seen in reruns on PBS Kids affiliates, particularly the 24/7 kids channel, until October 2022. As of 2022, it is still available on the PBS Kids streaming app and even sometimes featured.In 2021, the 2D-animated series Planeta Palavra premiered, which adapts the premise of WordWorld to Brazilian Portuguese.

Team Spirit: In "Shuffleword", Pig and Ant can't play the titular game without working together, and reluctantly teaming up again leads to them ending their feud. In "Superhero Sheep", Sheep accepts Duck's help as a sidekick after he gets her down from a roof. In "The Race to Mystery Island", Pig and Frog go to lengths to outdo each other, but find that the only way to finish their race is to work together.

I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham: In “Mmm-Mmm-Milk�, Ant refuses to drink milk when having milk and cookies with Pig because he says he doesn’t like it, even though he hasn’t tried it before. After running into Duck and Shark who are having a new-food picnic where they try new things, this convinces him to go back to Pig’s Barn to finally try some milk. In the end, after taking a sip, he decides he LOVES milk.

comment
Furry Confusion: Cow and Dog rarely talk, though it's often that Dog's barks can sound close to words. There are even realistic sea creatures. Dog can't talk, but he actually owns a house, whereas Pig lives in a barn, Bear lives in a cave, Sheep lives in hay, Frog lives in a log, and Duck has a nest. Fish lives in a fishbowl and cannot say much, while Shark walks on his tailfin on land and is very talkative.

Loud Sleeper Gag: In "Waterlogged", Frog is forced to move into Pig's house when his log home ends up sinking and needs rebuilding by Ant and his friends. One of the many things that Frog does as a rude houseguest is snoring loudly enough to keep Pig up. Realizing that he won't get any sleep, Pig decides to visit Ant and the others to see how the reconstruction of Frog's home is coming along. Unfortunately, they don't listen to him when he tells them that the letters they pull up (G, O, and L) are the right letters but are in the wrong order, and he is forced to go back home and put up with more of Frog's antics.

Chirping Crickets: Parodied in "A Star is Born". Duck is nervous to sing to the other Word Friends at a live performance, and a cricket is heard chirping when he doesn't start his act. It then turns out that the character Cricket is sitting in the audience, and they apologize.
