We've had a few cra-Z-y letters, but Zayin is straight up. It's like a Hebrew Z. In fact, if you look
closely, it even looks a bit like Z, with the bottom part missing. That's because Z was actually
derived from 
thousands of years ago! At the time,
Zayin looked more like a capital I. Over time, the letter became Z and made its way to the very end of the
Roman alphabet that we use today.
Now of course we could take the easy route and just remember
as a "Z" without the bottom part. But that wouldn't be any fun. So let's see, what words start with Z...
Zoologist? Zirconium? Zither? No, doesn't look like any of those. How about... (and you're going to have to really

(zeh) - Means this.
(Zod) - The name of a bad guy in one of the Superman films.
