What's the Catch?
A new television station is starting up in Letter People Land. All sorts of dreams fill the heads of the Letter People, as they try songs, jokes, and juggling.

The Tryout
All the Letter People show up at the new TV station to try their sound catches on Monty Swell. For the first time, all six Letter Boys make their sounds catch with Miss A. At Monty's suggestion, another Letter Boy stands on the other side of Miss A, and they make a word. It's the inspiration for a game show called The Catching Game.

With each Letter Girl now bearing two sounds, how will people know which sound she is using? This question hovers over the planned melodrama. Quickly, the Letter People devise new rules: (A) a Letter Girl can use her short sound if the Letter Boy is alone at the end of a word (holding the badge of Cooperation), and (B) Miss E can stand outside the Ending Clue Box as a signal that the Letter Girl in the Catching Clue Box is using her long sound.

Once they decipher Poopsie's first note, a few more notes await.
