it isn't a phrase, it is a question. there is a difference.
nice and tricky
I got it too quickly
blah blah. too easy again
mad-ade is correct; by the letter of grammatical law, a "phrase" does not comprise a clause. in this case, the question is an independent clause. it would be better worded if you substituted "ind clause" or "sentence" for "phrase"

How about "T-H-E spells the word THE"?
how about "what the...?"
Not bad for a trick!

you guys who say the question is wrong are wrong. can you think of a sentence that ends with the word the is an interrogative sentence making it a sentence. all sentences dont have to end with a period or be declaritives. dur du dur!
No. The ? ends the sentence not the.
Another answer/My opinion:What the...?
