Which letter comes next in the series: S, M, H, D, W, M?

Y Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Years

Why this works

This riddle plays on the concept of time intervals, where each letter represents a unit of time. The series starts with "S" for Seconds, followed by "M" for Minutes, "H" for Hours, "D" for Days, "W" for Weeks, and "M" for Months. The next logical unit of time is Years, which corresponds to the letter "Y." So, the answer is "Y," as it continues the pattern of measuring time!

Common Wrong Answers

“T”

T stands for 'Time', which is not part of the sequence. The series is based on units of time, and 'T' does not fit as the next logical unit.

“Q”

Q could stand for 'Quarter', but it is not a standard unit of time in the same context as Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, and Months. Thus, it doesn't follow the established pattern.

“R”

R might be thought of as 'Renewal', but it does not represent a unit of time like the others in the series. The correct answer is 'Y' for Years, which fits the pattern.
