Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Why do anagrams appear in the 11-Plus verbal reasoning test?

Anagrams are included to check problem-solving, spelling, and logical thinking. They test how quickly pupils can recognise and reorganise letters into meaningful words.

What is a good way to practise anagrams?

Start with short words, write letters on paper, and rearrange them until new words appear. Daily puzzles and games are also excellent practice.

How are anagrams different from riddles?

Anagrams focus only on rearranging letters, while riddles are questions or statements with hidden meanings that need solving through clues or reasoning.

WHEATERS

SHAWETER is not a genuine word, and neither is WHEATERS, so the answer must be WREATHES (an alternative spelling of wreaths, decorations made of foliage or flowers) or WEATHERS. To get through a tough time is to ‘weather the storm’, so WEATHERS is the correct answer

SARKASM

MARKERS

MAKERS

REMARKS

SARKASM feels like a valid answer – until you realise that the correct spelling is SARCASM, so we can rule that out. The other three options are genuine words, but MAKERS cannot be formed from the given letters. That leaves REMARKS and MARKERS. Of these, only REMARKS makes sense in the sentence, so it is the right answer

DAIRIES

DAISIES

All four options are genuine words, but neither DAISIES nor DAIRIES can be formed from the given letters. The correct answer must be either DISEASE or SEASIDE. The only one of these which would make any sense within the sentence is SEASIDE – diseases are not much fun!
