I came up with X the same way that Matt Allcorn did.

Haha this was a fun one. Although I guess I also found the comments funny seeing as the site has everyone already thinking of MentalFloss as the answer.

I didn’t get it, but the “English Alphabet” should have given it away. Oh well!

I thought it was “T” and you were naming all the consonents in “Mental Floss”

Oh well…

Interesting, I actually came with T once I realized I had seen the other 5 letters somewhere – “Mental Floss.” Remove all vowels and the consonants remaining are FLMNST, in alphabetical order.

I got this one, but I think it was more luck then anything. F is the 6th letter in the alphabet and L is 6 letters from F. L M N are all one letter apart, but S is five letters away so I figured it must be a pattern and X is five letters from S so I thought that would be the answer.
