Letter-sound details

Q is for quail

The Q card targets qu, connecting the common letter pair with the beginning of the word.

U is for umbrellabird

The longest label stays on one line without being clipped or replaced.

X is in ox

X occurs at the end of ox, so the target segment is the second letter.

Frequently asked questions

Which output styles are available?
The current tool provides color preview, SVG page packs, PDF, and browser print.
Why does X use ox?
The fixed mapping uses Ox; X is the final target letter, and the preview preserves that exact position.
Does the Chinese page change the animal mapping?
No. English and Chinese interfaces use the exact same A–Z animal mapping; only interface guidance is localized.
