Code Breaker 7

A code converts words to conceal their real meaning. Armies, spies and governments all use codes to protect their plans - but codes can be cracked!

The figures in the boxes on the left hand side of the page have been given letter codes that describe certain aspects of their appearance. Using this information you can find the code for the shape in the box on the right. There is a detailed explanation of how they work in the example question and answer, so just work out the codes of two figures which have something in common first, and then the rest will fall into place.

The writer Greg Anderson tells us to "Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." So focus on doing the quizzes, not on finishing them. Take your time, study each question and enjoy our seventh 11-Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning 'Code Breaker' quiz.
