Fascinating Fact:

The word rhythm is one of the longest words in English without a traditional vowel, which makes it a tricky one to complete.

In 11-Plus Verbal Reasoning, complete the word activities build problem-solving and literacy skills. They encourage pupils to think critically about letters, spelling, and the structure of words.

  • Consonant: A speech sound made by blocking airflow with the lips, teeth, or tongue.
  • Vowel: A speech sound made without blocking airflow, usually represented by a, e, i, o, u.
  • Word Puzzle: A challenge where letters are missing or rearranged, requiring logic to solve.

To see how these activities fit into wider exams, visit our 11 Plus subjects guide.

What skills do complete the word puzzles test?

They test spelling, vocabulary knowledge, and logical reasoning by asking pupils to find missing letters within words.

Are complete the word puzzles common in the 11 Plus?

How can pupils improve at complete the word activities?
