good one! you got me
Cute!
I was really confused until I saw the answer, but it was a very good one!
I am sick of those puzzles that actually are looking for a certain letter. Nice to see a change.
fun quiz im glad to see one that is diffrent keep up the good work
nice catch...
I'll have to tell that one to my mates one day
I'll have to tell that one to my mates one day
good one
fun one i thought it was t up until fear
well at least I can say that was quite easy...I got it right away but dont worry it was FUN nice trick..
You got me until I looked at the answer.
Really cool cute. Nice to know that I'm not the only one who didn't get until seeing the answer. Keep em comin!
Duh, can't believe I didn't get that one! That was very good.
I got it first try! Yay! I feel smart! Nice trick.
very sneaky!!! good one!
Wow...
I don't comment too often on the teasers, but knowing it was a trick, I tried to figure this out. Obviously at first, everyone probably thought it was "T" but of course, this was a trick..Good job!
Pretty easy for me... so i corrected something in here
hahahha dont get it
Easy, but plenty enjoyable at the same time.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
Easy, lol. But fun. Nice job!
got it after the clue
i missed it, but loved the answer!!
tricky tricky tricky, I loved it!
But there is no one letter that is in all of those words... so the answer is wrong even though it doesn't specify which one. There are only 26 letters and the answer cannot be any one of them, so it cannot be a letter...
To leftclick, there is "a letter" in all the words mentioned - actually several letters. It says 'I am a letter', not 'I am a specific letter'.
easy peasy but great i enjoyed it very much
Thought maybe it was a vowel. Fun quiz.
You got me there!
I Was trying to do the actualy riddle bit but all i had to do was read it properly!
Well done -Claps-

Definitely needed the hint, and then I still didn't get it right. Good job. You got me.
love it
Got it,but why are we subjected to so many repeats when so many good ones are not accepted.
I thought it was either a vowel or a consonant (leaning more toward the latter because of "by", and the fact that some people don't consider "y" a vowel). Anyway, I think that is just as valid as "any letter".
Good one!! You got me, too.
I thought vowel too.
one of the best teasers ever ! commendable !
Forgive me but I have to agree with leftclick. This seems flawed. Even if you did not specify which letter, you did specify 1 letter and since no 1 letter satisfies the answer I don't think this works. Anyway, I'm relatively new to this and am not brave enough to try myself but that is my 2 cents for what it is worth.
I agree! It didn't make any sense! I think it may have been a bit too tricky ! Perhaps you should pay a little more attention to the last part of the title:logic! Nice attempt though!
Stop complaining; the teaser makes perfect sense. The first line of the teaser is the answer. Just because your mind was thinking of a specific letter doesn't mean it ever asked for one.
To the people complaining the question was what am I?. The first lines says I am a letter. Its a trick riddle and a good one at that. Kinda like the test they give you in school that says read the entire test before answering and the last instruction says write your name at the top and turn it in. You wanted to find a letter that was in all those words because its logical to do so but you only had to answer What am I.
Very nice, very nice!!! Would not have guessed it in a million years; need more coffee...
i like it love it cute
I liked this one a lot. It's like the thing we did as kids. You ask a friend, "Do you want to take the idiot test?" Then you ask a series of really easy questions and then ask them to tell you the first question you asked them. That question, of course, was "Do you want to take the idiot test?" Most kids get it wrong and it's a lot of fun for 10 year olds!
Gosh I got it right. At first I thought it was T until I hit fear. Then I read the tittle again. There it was. Thanks for the teaser. It was delicious.
Monday~

Thx for the teaser
Thx for the teaser
Yay!! I got it!
I also thought it was "vowel" because of "by".
Seeing the hint, gave me your answer. Neat.

at first i thought it was "t" but then you did some words w/o a "t" so i was sorta confused but then i figured it out....great riddle it was fun!
Thank-you nikapooh. I get it now. I did not register what the question was. And thank-you tommysmo for the assist! However to the person who said "stop complaining", if we don't express our lack of understanding, how will we be helped to see?
At first, I was like "t!" but then saw "by". Loved it! Going in my faves! And extra points for originality!
Good grief, I should have had my niece help me on this one.

ahh! this made me feel like a complete fool. and i lovedd it!
the hint gave it away for me!
Got me again Way cute
haha, brilliant.
i thought it was the letter "i" or "n",being that ever line started with "i am IN", therefore the letter couldve been either, but this answer is clever.

Awesome!!!

Thanks for the great teaser and keep more like it coming!

You got me! This is a good teaser!
awesome teaser... its these "trick" teasers that get people thinking so hard about what the answer is, that they overlook the obvious answer... 100% loved it... oh and by the way, you got me too
WONDERFUL!!
It is going in my favorites.
You GOT ME
It is going in my favorites.
You GOT ME
Good one! You stumped most of us.
Okay. So tell me now what letter it is. I would LIKE you to tell me what that LETTER is.
Uhhh, yeah, I have to agree that the teaser is flawed.
look at the frakkin category lol
Oh yeah, and for those people saying that it didn't ask you to specify which one, it doesn't matter, since the definitions of itself that were given eliminate it from being any single letter, as it states that it is. Thus, I would say that whatever "it" is, it's most certaintly NOT a letter, or that the criteria given were incorrect; either way, there's a contradiction somewhere. And yeah, I'm being pedantic because brain teasers are supposed to make sense.
loved it! Very clever.
DUH!!! *bops head* didn't get it until I saw the answer. WELL DONE!!!!
thanks for all thenice comments
for me that was very easy
but dont worry it was still cute and fun
but dont worry it was still cute and fun
Aw, the hint gave it away! Great teaser, though.
Nice one! I had to look at the hint, but then I figured it out (looked at those words for a looong time, though! ). Fun stuff!
Hehe nice job
good one!
Clever.
Loved it, even though I didn't get it!
The answer fits, but it wasn't very clever. This should have been put under "Bad Joke". I'm sorry, but it's kind of a waste of time.
I was thinking than i hit ANSWER and before i scrolled down i thought for one more second and thought in my head 'you smuck Basterd' and i went down and saw the answer and said I KNEW IT!!!! lol great one
The teaser is definitely not flawed.
Think about these three things:
1. It does not say 'I am one of the 26 letters found in the English alphabet.' You assume that from 'I am a letter,' but letter could mean something else. Maybe it's a handwritten note.
2. It does not say 'I am one of the letters used to write the word fear.' You assume that from 'I am in fear,' but maybe the letter is just afraid.
3. Nowhere, anywhere, does it use the word 'English.' Maybe in Russian, or German, or Chinese, or whatever else, all of those words share a letter.
What this teaser does is, it uses your brain-teaser-thinking against you. You assume what the riddle implies, and therefore ignore the fact that it's already given you the answer.
GREAT teaser.

I liked it. Thanks!
very clever, but by that logic it cannot exist
you can be a letter, but no matter which one you are only a single letter, and no single letter is in all of those words
so if all clues don't apply at the same time this is impossible or else not all statements are true

i thought it was t but then i saw fear and by I HATE YOU FEAR AND BY! *punches computer*
Crazy puzzle! Happy New Year everyone!
Tricky - liked it & got it
It's 2017 already???!!!! Fun teaser - started my day with a big smile! Happy New Year everyone!
That was just weird. I disagree with that logic. If you are a letter you must be a specific one.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it right away - after all it said at the beginning of the teaser "I am a letter".
I rarely say this, but I did not like this at all. It makes no sense. "I" is singlular. It can not refer to multiple letters, or a generic form shifting letter. If some of the clues can be wrong, then "I am a letter" can be wrong. There is no way to reinterpret this riddle in a tricky way to make the answer reasonable. It just does not work.
YMMV. Sorry, not for me.

I kind of agree with Snowdog (the last comment, from 3 years ago!)
I got it after the hint. So it was kind of ok, but also kind of smh
