We consider the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$and its basic module $V(\Lambda_0)$. This module is infinite-dimensional,irreducible, integrable, and highest-weight. We describe $V(\Lambda_0)$ using a$q$-shuffle algebra in the following way. Start with the free associativealgebra $\mathbb V$ on two generators $x,y$. The standard basis for $\mathbb V$consists of the words in $x,y$. In 1995 M. Rosso introduced an associativealgebra structure on $\mathbb V$, called a $q$-shuffle algebra. For $u,v\in\lbrace x,y\rbrace$ their $q$-shuffle product is $u\star v = uv+q^{(u,v)}vu$,where $( u,v) =2$ (resp. $(u,v) =-2$) if $u=v$ (resp.  $u\not=v$).  Let $\mathbb U$ denote the subalgebra of the $q$-shuffle algebra $\mathbb V$  that is generated by $x, y$. Rosso showed that the algebra $\mathbb U$ isisomorphic to the positive part of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$.  In our first main result, we turn $\mathbb U$ into a$U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-module. Let $\bf U$ denote the$U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-submodule of $\mathbb U$ generated by theempty word. In our second main result, we show that the$U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-modules $\bf U$ and $V(\Lambda_0)$ areisomorphic. Let $\bf V$ denote the subspace of $\mathbb V$ spanned by the wordsthat do not begin with $y$ or $xx$. In our third main result, we show that $\bfU = \mathbb U \cap {\bf V}$.
