Frequently Asked Questions

Common W words: whale, wolf, wagon, water, worm, wind, witch, world, and window. High-frequency sight words beginning with W include: was, with, will, when, what, which, were, want, and well. W has a very distinctive shape — like an upside-down M — which makes it highly recognizable.

The name "double-u" comes from the letter's origins. In early medieval manuscripts, scribes represented the /w/ sound with two Latin letters "uu" (or sometimes "vv", since V and U were interchangeable). When this became a single character, the name "double-u" stuck. It is the only letter whose name has three syllables and the only one that does not reflect its sound.
