It's the letter D of course! Haven't you heard of Jason D?!
The next term is ' D '.
The series alternates between letters from the beginning of the alphabet and letters from the end, specifically pairing 'a' with 'z', 'b' with 'y', 'c' with 'x', and 'd' with 'w'. Following this pattern, after 'd', the next letter should be 'w'. Hence, the next letter in the series is 'w'.
k comes next, and then l.
D
The next letter in the series d, h, l, p follows a pattern where each letter is separated by an increasing number of spaces: d (+4) = h, h (+4) = l, l (+4) = p. Continuing this pattern, p (+4) gives us t. Therefore, the next letter in the series is t.
d
The next (and last) letter is C. Just as a countdown counts backwards, this series is "countdown" spelled backwards.
