The following activity is a practice exercise to help you measure your success under timed conditions.
If you are unsure of an answer move on to the next question.
You should come back to questions you found difficult at the end if you have time.
The thief has stolen four letters from a word but they have left a clue behind to help us figure out what the word is.
The four letters make a real word themselves.
Here is a word with four missing letters which make a word themselves:
BING
The thief has left behind this clue:
Clue | Partial Word |
Cleaning your teeth | BING |
What could the missing letters be that form a word themselves and where have they been removed from?
The missing letters make the word RUSH and the full word is BRUSHING.
Now it’s time to begin this practice exercise.
Good luck!
