What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

The letter 'n'.

Why this works

This riddle plays on the presence of the letter 'n' in specific words rather than a concept related to time. If you look closely, you'll see that 'n' appears in "seasons," "seconds," "centuries," and "minutes," but it is absent from "decades," "years," and "days." The clever twist lies in the fact that the riddle tricks you into thinking about the time units themselves, while the answer is focused purely on the letters that make up those words!

Common Wrong Answers

“Time”

Time is a concept that applies to all the mentioned units (seasons, seconds, centuries, minutes), but it is not a specific element that differentiates these units from decades, years, or days.

“Numbers”

While numbers can be represented in all the mentioned units, they do not specifically appear in the words 'seasons', 'seconds', 'centuries', and 'minutes' in the same way the letter 'n' does.

“Letters”

Although letters are part of all words, the answer is specifically the letter 'n', and the guess 'letters' does not pinpoint the unique characteristic that differentiates the words in the riddle.
