Words that Cannot be Made 1
Words That Cannot Be Made puzzles test accuracy and focus. Pupils must check whether a word can truly be formed from the letters provided in the 11 Plus exam.
Example:
Which of the following words can NOT be made from the letters of the word POSITIONAL?
Postal
Opal
Notion
Posit
Pools
Satin
It doesn’t matter whether or not you know what the words mean. Just look at the letters they contain and see if they are in the word 'POSITIONAL' the correct amount of times.
The only one of the options which cannot be formed is 'notion', purely because the letter 'N' only appears once in 'POSITIONAL', but twice in ‘notion’.
