Riddle: What day, within a week of today, does not end in “Y”?
Answer: Tomorrow
Need a hint?
Don’t think about Monday or Friday. Think about how we name days relative to today.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is tomorrow.
Monday, Tuesday and the rest all end in Y. But “tomorrow” is also a day within a week of today, and it ends in W.
The riddle makes you list the days of the week, when the answer is a different way of naming a day.
