Word-Number Codes 3
Word-Number Codes mean looking carefully at the alphabet.
This third Word-Number Codes Quiz approaches the techniques you need from a rather different angle. There are all sorts of shortcuts you can use to narrow down the options in an 11-Plus Verbal Reasoning assessment - once you know what you are doing.
This time we will give you a keyword and four others of varying lengths, each of which is another acceptable English word ... apart from one! Your task is to pick out the only word that would NOT be possible or sensible.
If, for instance, your 'master' word were STRAWBERRIES and you had decoded as far as RABB - - , it would be likely that the word you were aiming for was RABBIT ... certainly worth sticking-with and checking; whereas if you reckoned you had reached REB..., you might be safe (REBOUND, for instance; but you haven't got the right vowels for that), but REBB ... , with its double B, does not look as though it leads to a word made only from the letters in STRAWBERRIES.
Example: if 03625847159 'spells' EDUCATIONAL, which of the following would NOT make a recognisable word?
251390
95848630
2568471
51842690120
These, if duly decoded, would give you CANDLE, LATITUDE and CAUTION (the -TION group lifted wholesale from the original word; usually they'd be more artfully hidden); the final word would have been ANTICULENCE, which consists entirely of plausible syllables but ~ as far as we know ~ does not exist or have any meaning.

Answer 3 would have 'spelt' GRONER, which consists of possible letter-groups but could only be assumed as a misspelling of 'groaner' (the best otherwise possible, and phonetically plausible; but we didn't have access to A this time). The other words, in order as given, were the boy's name Roger; Dungeon, and Nudged

The four words should have been PARLIAMENT, PETROL, RATTLE and IMPERMANENT, but there was a 'deliberate clerical error' in Answer 2 which was mis-coded as PERTOL. Sneaky, huh?

Answer 3 would give ASSIGNANTS which sounds like an old Anglo-French legal term (and possily is), but certainly not a regular mainstream English word nowadays. The correct words were GHOST, STATION and AGAINST

Answer 2 would offer you BARKET which sounds plausible, but does not exist. (It has the slight sound of a London Underground station about it, but we can only offer Barking or Barnet!) The others were BROUGHT, BEGETTER (a rather old-fashioned, but still occasionally-heard term meaning 'someone who dreams up a project, and/or brings it into reality' ... rather like the old family histories in the Bible where 'Abraham begat Isaac' etc.) ... and lastly, REGATTA (a parade or tournament of boats, probably powered by rowers, as in the classical heyday of Venice)
