  • Anagram: A new word made by rearranging the letters of another word.
  • Reasoning: Using logic and thinking to solve problems or puzzles.
  • Wordplay: The creative use of words and letters for puzzles or jokes.
What does an anagram mean in the 11-Plus exam?

An anagram is when the letters of a word are rearranged to make a new word. They appear in verbal reasoning to test language and thinking skills.

Why are anagrams useful for learning?

Anagrams build spelling, vocabulary, and memory. They also encourage students to think quickly and spot patterns, which are valuable skills for problem-solving.

What is an easy way to practise anagrams?

You can practise anagrams by playing word games, looking for smaller words inside bigger ones, and using puzzles in books or online resources.

1 .

The sentence below has a word in which the letters are jumbled up. Rearrange the letters in capitals and write the correct version below it.

The LGRNEAE gave orders to his troops.

GLEANER
ENLARGE
GENERAL
RELANGE
RELANGE is not a real word so the answer must be either ENLARGE (get bigger), GLEANER (one who gathers grain) or GENERAL (an officer in the army). The correct answer must be GENERAL as none of the other options makes sense
2 .

The sentence below has a word in which the letters are jumbled up. Rearrange the letters in capitals and write the correct version below it.

He nervously awaited his exam STRULES.

RUSTLES
TURLESS
RESULTS
LUSTRES

MEDICAL
ACLAIMD

The sentence below has a word in which the letters are jumbled up. Rearrange the letters in capitals and write the correct version below it.

He was an EEANTSR man, and loyal to the cause.

EARNEST
EASTERN
NEAREST
