Letters (also known unofficially as Alphalings or Letterlings) are the Latin-script letters above the Alphablocks. They are small black symbols encased in glass block/helmets. Their function is to identify what Alphablock it is, and what sound they make/what their name is. There are 2 types of symbols: CAPITAL/UPPERCASE/BIG letters, and lowercase/small letters/minuscule.

Trivia[]
- Alphablocks commonly use lowercase. In fact, their letters are almost always that case. The capital letters do make their occurring appearances.
- A in the Alphablocks logo
- E (third) and T (third) in "Fred"
- H in "Book"
- P in "Outlaw"
- I in "Mine"; That capital appears to be in the Heinemann Roman Bold font.
- N in "Making Friends"
- B, Y, and T (second) in "The Case of the Missing Blocks"
- S and E (second) in "Letters to Santa"
- U, F, and O in "UFO"
- all of the capitals in the top rows in "Band Together"; although they aren't in the Alphablocks themselves, there are seen in signs and in the map alongside the regular lowercase letters.
- Other capital forms are seen in outer media.
- X in "Fun Run"
- L in an official YouTube video about capitals; that capital is in the font of VAG Rounded, a common font used in literacy resources
- Other VAG Rounded capitals for the Alphablocks are seen in official merchandise, like letter magnets, the Reading Programme Magazine, and the Annual 2025 (seen in the gallery above).
- C (third) in the "CBeebies Playtime" app promo.
- J, E (fourth), S (third), and C (second) in this video.
- Other fonts Alphablocks uses:
- Heinmann Roman - Alphablocks World, until a major update
- Arial Rounded - the text in the storybook in "Book"; this font has redesigned letters to match the Alphablocks' original letters, like "a".
- Blocks Rounded Sans (made-up name) - original font used by Alphablocks, Ltd. for modern merch, like annual.
- In "Book", it is shown that Alphablocks can change their letters and transform into the Alphablock of that letter.
- Until "Making Friends" confirmed "letters" is the official term, the letters didn't have an official name. Fans often referred to them as "Alphalings" or "Letterlings", similar to the Numberblocks' "Numberlings".
