What letter completes the sequence? S O E N S Y

wilbur9591 --

Oh, all right, I'll bite the bullet and answer this one too.  

Based on the logic of the other riddle, the answer to this one has to
be the letter "E".  That is, the letter "E" completes "the sequence,"
which is a phrase that ends with an "e".

The trick to answering both of these riddles is to read the riddle
literally. In your first riddle, when told to strike out "ten
letters," you literally were to strike out the letters "t e n  l e t t
e r s" in order to reach the answer.

In this riddle, you are asked for a letter that completes "the
sequence."  Understood literally, the letter "e" ends (i.e.
"completes") the phrase "the sequence."


Search strategy:

More headscratching and then a decision that the best answer (indeed
the only good answer)is the one using the logic of the first riddle.


If anything about this answer is unclear, please ask for clarification
before rating it, and I would be happy to work with you further.

nice work! simple logic prevails....

Your other question is SO easy!

And so is this!

But I am TOO discreet to spoil the fun!

Sorry to disagree!

My solution is 'Y'.

I back markj's answer.
My logic is centered around the question mark.

For both of the questions below I would say that 'Y' is the answer.
   What letter completes the sequence S O E N S Y ? 
   What letter completes the sequence: S O E N S Y
Since the question was asked after the word sequence, however, i think
'e' is the right conclusion.  In general I like riddles to have
meaning in everything, adding the 6 letters after seems cheap...but
riddles never play fair.

Of course there is no 'right' or 'wrong'...we may all be correct in
our own eyes and all be completely foolish in the eyes of the riddles
author.  I'm just throwing my logic out there for you.  I suppose
another way to look at it is markj got the $10...right or wrong he
wins.

Markj also got a tip of $5 so I admit defeat.

Ah well I am not always right!

Well done Markie.

Thanks for the five stars (on both questions) and the nice tip.

There are seven planets associated with male deities in classical
mythology. These are uranuS, plutO, neptunE, saturN, marS, mercurY,
and jupiteR. The remaining two planets, eartH and venuS, are
associated with female deities. Hence, the letter R would very nicely
complete the given sequence.

Brad Lushman says the answer is A, and I'm inclined to agree. Consider:

  Sunday
  mOnday
  tuEsday
  wedNesday
  thurSday 
  fridaY   
  saturdAy

My God, You're brilliant!

Next time I have a series like this I'm asking you.

*bows to superior problem solving skills*

using the logic involved in the answer provided as "e"
couldnt any letter in the phrase "the sequence" complete it
just because it ends with "e" doesnt mean thats the letter that completes it

you could remove any letter in that phrase and it would be incomplete
and therefore adding it would complete "the sequence"
