Ø is used as the party letter for the left-wing Danish political party Red-Green Alliance (Enhedslisten).The corresponding word is spelled ö in Swedish and øy in Norwegian. In Danish, ø is also a word, meaning "island".Ø is used in the orthographies of several languages of Africa, such as Lendu, spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Koonzime, spoken in Cameroon.The Southern Sami language uses the letter ø in Norway.Under German influence, the letter ö appeared in older texts (particularly those using Fraktur) and was preferred for use on maps (e.g., for Helsingör or Læsö) until 1957. The letter was used in both Antiqua and Fraktur from at least as early as the Christian III Bible.
In the Suðuroy-dialect of Faroese, the short ø is pronounced, e.g. Listen to a Danish speaker reciting the Danish alphabet. As with so many vowels, it has slight variations of "light" quality (in Danish, søster ("sister") is pronounced as, like the "eu" in the French word bleu) and "dark" quality (in Danish, bønne ("bean") is pronounced as, like the "œu" in the French word bœuf).
In modern Danish, Faroese, and Norwegian, the letter is a monophthongal close-mid front rounded vowel, the IPA symbol for which is also ( Unicode U+00F8). "ø" (minuscule) is also used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a close-mid front rounded vowel. It is equivalent to the letter " ö" used in Swedish (and a number of other languages), and may also be replaced with "ö", as was often the case with older typewriters in Denmark and Norway, and in national extensions of International Morse Code. In other languages that do not have the letter as part of the regular alphabet, or in limited character sets such as ASCII, "ø" may correctly be replaced with the digraph "oe", although in practice it is often replaced with just an "o", e.g. Although these names suggest it is a ligature or a diacritical variant of the letter o, it is considered a separate letter in Danish and Norwegian, and it is alphabetized after "z" - thus x, y, z, æ, ø, and å. Though not its native name, among English-speaking typographers the symbol may be called a "slashed O" or "o with stroke". The name of this letter is the same as the sound it represents (see usage). It is mostly used as a representation of mid front rounded vowels, such as and, except for Southern Sámi where it is used as an diphthong. Ø (or minuscule: ø) is a letter used in the Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, and Southern Sámi languages. For the distinction between, / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.

Some are cool sounding, some can be used to describe something cool, and some are unique and interesting. There are some cool words that start with X though, and I’ve done my best to list as many as could below. X is a difficult letter to use as a starting point to find words with a specific meaning.
