Letter and Number Codes
Work out the rule behind a code, then apply it — letter shifts, reversed words and alphabet-number codes.
Word Analogies
Kitten is to cat as puppy is to...? Build the habit of naming the relationship before you choose the answer.
Odd One Out: Words
Find the word that does not belong — and then prove it by naming the rule the other three share.
Letter Sequences
Spot how many letters are skipped each time, then continue the sequence — including sequences where the gap grows.
Number Codes
Letters turned into numbers — using alphabet positions, doubled values and decoding back into words.
