WordGirl is an educational American animated TV series that originally started out as animated shorts that played after the PBS show Maya & Miguel but eventually branched out into its own full-length show, which ran from September 2007 until August 2015.

The show's premise follows the titular character, WordGirl, an alien super-hero that was raised by an average family on Earth under the name Becky Botsford, completely oblivious to her origin. Gifted with flight, super-speed, and an expansive vocabulary, she uses her powers to fight crime along with her pet monkey, Captain Huggy Face, and teach people, friend and foe alike, the meaning of different words.
