@nightjourney count the letters that are in the bracket (the alphabet).
when they ask "How many letters are in the alphabet?" you only count these ----> "the alphabet"

@JudyS it's actually 7 as there are repeats and you have include -the- by the way the question is posed. -The alphabet- contains these letters t,h,e,a,l,p,b, the rest are repeats

8. Three are repeats.

@SW-User yes...correct

If you mean the words โ€˜theโ€™ and โ€˜alphabetโ€™ that amounts to 11. If not it depends which alphabet you are talking about. Different languages have different numbers of letters. In English โ€˜&โ€™ used to be regarded as a separate letter.

The alphabet. 11. Ohh.๐Ÿ˜
JoeXP ยท 56-60, M
Ignoring the obvious answer of 11 of course it depends on which alphabet you mean. Like Spanish regards โ€˜llโ€™ as a separate letter and Irish doesnโ€™t have โ€˜kโ€™. The traditionally the ampersand was considered a letter of the alphabet.

"A " is used twice.

But counts as 1.

So, 10 not 11.

Or am I to be corrected?
