I'm where yesterday follows today and tomorrow is in the middle. What am I?

A dictionary

Why this works

This riddle plays with the unusual arrangement of words in a dictionary. While we typically think of time in a linear fashion—yesterday, today, tomorrow—the dictionary organizes words alphabetically. In this case, the word "yesterday" comes before "today," and "tomorrow" follows, making it seem like "yesterday" is following "today" while "tomorrow" is nestled right in the middle. The clever twist lies in understanding that the riddle uses the structure of a dictionary instead of the passage of time!

Common Wrong Answers

“Time”

Time is linear and does not rearrange days; yesterday, today, and tomorrow are not found in a specific order in time.

“Calendar”

A calendar organizes days in a straightforward sequence and does not place yesterday after today.

“Clock”

A clock measures time but does not represent the concept where yesterday follows today; it shows the current time.
