I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"
Every screw colony has a queen screw.

1-5/8"
Just American things
That’s a mixed fraction in a foreign units System instead of a number. (Screw sizes are integers here) Edit: we also use 1 1/3 instead of 1-1/3 in germany, making your way of writing it down more difficult to read.
Both are used and acceptable ways to write it in the US.
Also, are your screw size integers based on any units at all? If so it’s just another metric vs standard argument, and if not, it’s even less intuitive than even inches, because it’s just a case where one just needs to already know and be familiar with that sizing system, like shoe sizes or something.
Someone screwed up!
I know how frustrating this is as it’s happend to me too. But at least it wasn’t a 1 5/8" mixed in a box of 1 1/4". I’ve seen that too. In the worst way possible way.
I’ve had one screw too long when attaching hinges and ran it through the side of a box I had just finished, was very disappointed.
Yup. Cabinet installation here. Blew right through one into the other. Wouldn’t have been so bad but the one had glass doors.
