Which words can and can't be made from 'dachshund'?

Words that Cannot be Made 4

Welcome to the fourth and final quiz in this section all about finding words which can’t be made from longer ones. Well done for making it this far. By now, you should be an expert at these kinds of question and won’t need us to show you how to answer them. Good – you should be well prepared if you come across them in your Eleven Plus Verbal Reasoning exam.

As you have been going through the quizzes, you should have learned how to tackle the puzzles in an orderly, systematic and methodical way. That’s a very good habit to learn and it will help you in these, and other types of question.

And now it’s time for the last ten questions. Let’s see whether you manage to get all forty of them right. Good luck!
