About

The Blind Letter Challenge is a TikTok challenge where participants use the "TapTapABC" filter to randomly generate a letter then decide where to place the given letter in a ranked list of one to five without knowing what the next letter will be, attempting to make five letters go in alphabetical order from top to bottom. The challenge was started by TikToker @michael.dicostanzo in December 2022 and went viral in January 2023.
