Fascinating Fact:

In some versions of Related Words puzzles, vowels and consonants may be treated differently to make the code harder.

In 11 Plus Verbal Reasoning, Related Numbers questions require pupils to recognise patterns and rules. These can include fixed shifts, alternating skips, or changes based on vowels and consonants.

Key Terms

Sequence: A set of numbers or letters arranged in a logical order.
Rule: The hidden system used to create or change a sequence.
Consonant: Any letter that is not a vowel (A, E, I, O, U).
