- Did a word that's important to you go missing?

- And now all you can feel, do, or think is the opposite of that word?

- Then call us.

I'm Sly.

- And I'm Gabby.

We're word detectives, and we solve, - [Both] Word mysteries!

- Together, we run the Wordsville Online Detective Agency.

- We'll find your missing word fast.

- Not to mention, briskly.

- And swiftly.

- Yeah, we're really good with words.

- [Both] Wordsville!

- Books I've read once.

Books I've read twice And books I've read 43 times or more.

Hey, what do you think everyone else is bringing to trade at Athlete Glory's stuff swap?

I hope it's books.

- I know exactly what I'm bringing, Gabby.

Check it out.

- No offense, Sly, but how do you find anything in that mess?

- I got a system.

That's my stuff swap pile.

Ignore the rest.

- Okay, but Athlete Glory said she wanted everything for the swap to be organized in boxes.

It's on the flyer.

I have it here somewhere.

- Bet I can find that flyer faster than you.

[mischievous music] [objects clattering] - Where'd that flyer, oh no.

My office.

It's a mess.

- My system!

Was this shirt supposed to be swapped?

- Athlete Glory's calling.

I hope this mess is because of a word mystery.

[call ringing] Athlete Glory, how's the stuff swap going?

- Awful.

My binder's missing, this one.

- Oh, your binder has the word organized on it.

[keyboard clicking] Organized means having things arranged, sorted, or grouped in a particular way, like my system.

- Sure.

Organizing things makes them easier to find.

- Exactly.

And until my binder's found, everything in Wordsville will be a complete mess, like my gym is now.

See?

- That is a mess.

Tell us exactly what happened when your binder went missing and I'll animate it.

Recap time.

[mouse clicking] - I was here at the gym, sorting the stuff swap items that had already come into two categories, sports stuff and non-sports stuff.

Reporter Read came by to interview me for a story about the swap when Vet Wilder showed up and made a big stink.

I was so frustrated that I took a run around the gym to clear my head, but when I got back, Vet Wilder, Reporter Read and my binder were gone.

- I see.

Can you show us the scene of the mystery one more time?

- If you're sure you can handle seeing this mess again.

- [Sly] I'll take the screenshot for our case notes.

- Thanks, Word Detectives.

I hope you can sort out this mess.

- Okay.

Let's open up the case notes.

[cartoony music] - I'm beginning to see why organization might be important.

- So messy.

[groans] But at least we know what happened.

Athlete Glory's binder with organized on it went missing.

We know where it happened, the gym, and we know when it happened, as she went for a run to clear her head, and we know Vet Wilder and Reporter Read were there.

They're our suspects.

- Now, all we need to figure out is who did it, how and why.

- Let's call our first suspect, Reporter Read.

[call ringing] - Word Detectives.

- Vet Wilder?

I meant to call Reporter Read.

Even my contact list is disorganized.

- It can't be more messy than these leashes I'm trying to sort.

- I know you're a bit tied up, but can we ask you some questions about the stuff swap?

- Sure.

- Athlete Glory said you two had a disagreement.

- She organized everything by whether or not it was sports stuff.

- And you had a better way?

- Yeah.

Stuff should be arranged by how pet friendly it is.

Whoa!

[tools clattering] - Vet Wilder?

Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

I should have taken these leashes to the stuff swap too.

Excuse me.

- Vet Wilder just admitted he and Athlete Glory disagreed over how everything for the stuff swap should be sorted and grouped.

- Maybe he was so annoyed he took the organized binder.

But we should still talk to Reporter Read.

Oh, Sly, you try calling this time.

[call ringing] - Reporter Read, it's actually you?

- Who else would I be?

- We've been having some trouble since the word organized went missing, and it looks like you've been hit really hard.

- My newsroom was already like this.

So much news has been happening in Wordsville lately that I've been too busy to organize anything, except my reporter notes.

Sometimes work could take over your life and your space.

- No kidding.

I'm amazed you were able to find anything to bring to the stuff swap in that mess.

- Oh, I had no problem finding stuff.

- But what did you drop off at the swap anyway?

I bet it's super cool.

- I'd list it all, but I have to get back to writing my story.

Bye.

- Well, she's acting suspiciously.

- But so is Vet Wilder.

He might have taken Athlete Glory's binder since they argued on how things should be organized.

- And Reporter Read started acting weird when we asked her what she brought to the swap.

I'll bring up the case notes.

- No!

[cartoony music] - My bad.

- At least one of these is case related, the scene of the mystery from the gym.

Look at all the great stuff for swapping, inventions from Scientist Cosmo, muffin tins from Baker Graham, a treat toy from Vet Wilder.

- Yeah, but where's all the cool reporter stuff Reporter Read said she brought?

That's not it.

[mouse clicking] That's not it either.

Nope.

Nada.

- Sly, I think you just found a clue in this chaos that'll sort out the case.

It's time to show everyone how this word mystery happened.

[call ringing] - Now, presenting the word mystery animated reenactment of the Case of the Organized Crime.

Hi, Athlete Glory.

I'm here to write a story about the stuff swap.

- [Gabby] Great, but first, what did you bring to the swap?

And is it sports or non-sports related?

That's how everything here is organized.

- [Sly] Me?

Oh look, it's Vet Wilder.

Here's all my pet friendly stuff.

What are you doing?

You can't sort just for sports.

- [Gabby] Why not?

- [Sly] Think of the pets.

- [Gabby] [groans] I need to take a lap.

- [Sly] I don't wanna be the only person too disorganized to swap something.

Luckily, I know how to keep that to myself.

- Who took the binder?

Reporter Read.

- Reporter Read?

- She grabbed it when she was alone in the gym.

That's how we figured it out thanks to Sly's eyes.

- I am pretty good at finding things in big messes.

- Why did you do it, Reporter Read?

- Because my newsroom is so disorganized that I couldn't find anything to bring to the swap.

I got really embarrassed when you asked me what I brought.

So I took your binder.

- My binder!

I figured no one would notice I didn't bring anything to the swap if the swap was disorganized too.

I'm sorry, everyone.

It was wrong of me to take this.

I'll return it as soon as, where's Athlete Glory?

[door knocking] Wow, she's fast.

[call ringing] - I'm so happy to get my binder back.

Time to get this stuff organized.

- I wish I could bring something to the stuff swap, but I still can't find anything in all this clutter.

- Actually, once this is all cleaned up, Athlete Glory and I have agreed to help you find some things for the swap by helping you sort out the newsroom.

- Which we'll organize by sports reports.

- I think you mean by animal stories.

- [Group] Thanks, Word Detectives.

- Nicely done, Gabby.

- You too, Sly.

Hey, wanna stop by the newsroom to help?

- Great idea.

Only my office is so messy I can't get to the door.

Help?
