Unscramble the letters to identify the bird: C P A O E C K What is the last letter of the correctly formed bird’s name?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: K

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Classic jumbled-word problem: rearrange letters to form a familiar bird's name and report the last letter.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Letters: C, P, A, O, E, C, K
  • Target: a standard bird name spelled with exactly these letters.


Concept / Approach:
Look for recognizable clusters like "pea", "cock", or common bird names that can be formed from the multiset of letters (two Cs present).



Step-by-Step Solution:

Group letters to test "pea" + "cock" → PEA + COCK.Rearrange: P E A C O C K → PEACOCK.Confirm we used each letter exactly once (including both Cs).Identify the final letter of "PEACOCK": K.


Verification / Alternative check:
No other common bird uses exactly these letters with two Cs and one K; PEACOCK is a unique, high-frequency match.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • E, P, C are internal letters, not the final letter.
  • None of these is wrong because K is correct.


Common Pitfalls:
Missing the second C or misspelling "PEACOCK".



Final Answer:
K
