Word Puzzles

Word puzzles ask you to look at language a little differently, whether that’s spotting a smaller word hiding inside a bigger one or working out which jumble of letters spells something familiar.

This puzzle gives you fifteen wordplay challenges, including anagrams, hidden words, and a few classic word association puzzles, and asks you to pick the right answer from four options. Each one comes with a short explanation afterwards, so the wordplay makes sense even if it didn’t click straight away. Work through them all and find out whether you finish Lost for Words, a Casual Speller, a sharp Word Nerd, or a true Wordsmith.
