Do You Know The Alphabet? Trivia Quiz

How well do you know the alphabet? In this quiz, I will give you letters in no significant order, and you must guess the letter that is missing from the set. The grouping may have to do with the shape, sound, or usage of the letters.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A,B,D,O,P,R

Answer: Q

These are the only capital letters in the latin alphabet that enclose a region.

2. B,C,D,E,G,T,V, and sometimes Z

Answer: P

These letters, when pronounced in English, (except maybe Z depending on your country of origin), have an -ee sound at the end.

3. C,G,P,S

Answer: T

These letters all change pronunciation when placed before an H. ch as in choice, ph as in phrase, -gh as in tough, sh as in should, and th as in this.

4. A,E,F,H,K,T,X

Answer: Y

These letters, when capitalized, cannot be written out without lifting your pen from the paper or going back over what was already written. Just try it if you don't believe me.

5. A,H,I,M,O,T,V,W,X,Y

Answer: U

All of these are vertically symmetric. That is, if you held them up to a mirror, the letters would stay the same. Note that other symmetric letters like B, will not be the same when held up to a mirror.

6. A,E,F,H,I,K,L,M,N,T,V,X,Y,Z

Answer: W

All of the letters are drawn with straight, flat lines. There are no curves at all.

7. F,H,I,L,T

Answer: E

All of these letters can be written on a grid. That is to say, all of the angles are right angles.

8. A,B,E,F,H,K,P,Q,T,X,Y

Answer: R

Each of these letters has an intersection (or vertex) of 3 or more lines. Arguably, you would only need a traffic light at intersections with three or more roads, of course that isn't always the case.

9. C,F,I,J,L,P,V

Answer: O

All of these letters are contained in a different letter without rotating the letter or making it larger or smaller. In other words, these letters can fit into other letters and not leave anything sticking out. C can fit in O and Q and G, F can fit in E, I is contained in a number of different letters, J is contained in U, L is contained in E, and P is contained in B and R, V is contained in W.

The correct answer is O because O is contained in Q.

10. The final set has 10 letters in it. Nine of them were the answers to the previous nine questions. What is the tenth letter?

Answer: I

The answers to the first nine questions were Q P T Y U W E R O. These are all letters found on the top row of a keyboard, remember the order is not important. Chances are there is one right in front of you at this very moment. What's missing? The I of course.
