Which words can and can't be made from 'kingfisher'?
Words that Cannot be Made 3
This is the third quiz in our series all about finding words which cannot be made from longer words. That is a type of question sometimes included in the 11+ Verbal Reasoning exam. Not often, to be sure, but occasionally.
So why bother with these quizzes then, if they are seldom included in the test? Well, two reasons: they are a good way to practise concentration, which is always a good habit to get into. They also improve your powers of observation, trying to spot certain letters in words makes you more watchful and alert.
So, on with the quiz. Take your time and please do not rush. Being fast is good, but being accurate is much more important. Good luck!
Example:
Which of the following words can NOT be made from the letters of the word POSITIONAL?
Postal
Opal
Notion
Posit
Pools
Satin
It doesn’t matter whether or not you know what the words mean. Just look at the letters they contain and see if they are in the word 'POSITIONAL' the correct amount of times.
The only one of the options which cannot be formed is 'notion', purely because the letter 'N' only appears once in 'POSITIONAL', but twice in ‘notion’.
