Rearranging Words and Making Connections
You may be asked to unscramble letters to form a new word. You may also be asked to make sure that the new word has a connection with two other words you are given. Look at these examples:
(south, west) THORN
- You need to unscramble THORN to make a word that is linked to 'south' and 'west'.
New word: NORTH
- 'South' and 'west' are both directions. So you are trying to make another direction word from THORN.
(stories, narratives) STEAL
- You need to unscramble STEAL to make a word that is linked to 'stories' and 'narratives'.
New word: TALES
- 'Stories' and 'narratives' both describe events. So you are trying to make another word for describing events from STEAL.
