Welcome to the second of our Eleven Plus Verbal Reasoning quizzes about Anagrams. If you have already played the first then you’ll know all about anagrams and finding mixed-up words in the context of a sentence. If not, then I suggest you start with that quiz before you try this one.
In the first quiz we were looking for five or six-letter anagrams. This time it’s a little more challenging as we are looking for seven-letter words. Don’t worry though – the principle is exactly the same. We are looking for the word which has been scrambled up within a sentence. It’s your task to work out what the original word was.
As always, take your time and don’t rush through the quiz. It is all too easy to make silly mistakes if you don’t read the questions carefully and choose your answers wisely. This is a good habit to get into now, before you come to sit your exams.
