Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, feel free to get help or share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.
I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.
This weeks riddle: How many letters are there in the English alphabet?

The I.T. guy in me counts whitespace as characters but yeah – 18 letters. 21 characters.

Either 18 in total or 11 unique in ‘the english alphabet’

Well I’d ordinarily say 26, unless you’re talking about “the English alphabet” in which case I’d say 11: a,b,e,g,h,i,l,n,p,s,t

the obvious answer is 11 (t, h, e, n, g, l, i, s, a, p, b). 12 if you think of lower and upper case differently. 26 if you think of the song.

I hadn’t considered the individual letters not being counted if repeated. Bonus points to you.
