TUW, VWY, XYA, ZAC, ___
Consider the order of the letters to be the way they are in the English Language.
Answer
The next set of letters is BCE.Take the first set in the series 'TUW'.
The second set is obtained by taking the last letter of the first set as the middle letter for the second set, in this case 'W'. The first and third letters of the second set are obtained by using the letter that comes one position before 'W' and the letter that comes two positions after 'W' in the English language, i.e. V and Y respectively.
The second last set in this series is 'ZAC'. Taking 'C' as the middle letter, we obtain the first and last letters as B (the alphabet that comes one position before 'C' in the English language) and E (the alphabet that comes two positions after 'C' in the English language) thus obtaining the answer as 'BCE'.

pretty easy but fun enough
i have never heard this one before
Pretty smart. I liked it! And I got it too.
Hmmm... I started the way you describe - but all you need to do is go in alphabetical order, missing one each time. [First letter T, V, X, Z, B, etc!]
