What does “E-Z” mean?

Question

Is it an abbreviation or is it used instead "A-Z"?

I have seen it being used multiple places:

• E-Z cook oven
• E-Z Hiscores

Answer 1

It means 'easy'. The two sounds for those letters in the (American) English alphabet sound out the word easy.

Answer 2

It means easy as this is pronounced similar to E Z in American English.

Answer 3

"E-Z" is a lazy way to write the word easy. This is in American English because the letter z is pronounced as "zee" in America. This does not apply in British English because the letter z is pronounced as "zed".
