About this lesson
By the end of this lesson your child can look at any anagram or code question, a scrambled word, a shifted letter code, a letter series or a number code, and know exactly which method it needs. These are the question types that fill the verbal reasoning paper, and they are pure technique. A child who has been shown the method solves them in seconds. A child who has not sits and stares at the letters.
Topics covered:
- Word scramblers, using the clue first and the letters second
- Anagrams hidden inside a sentence, where the sentence is the clue
- Letter codes, finding the jump from the word to its code
- Tougher codes, where every letter moves by a different amount and the alphabet loops round
- Letter series and analogies, the two letter lines that appear on every paper
- Letter sums, where letters stand for numbers and the answer is a letter
- Number codes, working out the key from three coded words before coding a fourth
Your child works through this lesson on any screen. They click to reveal each line of a worked example, try the questions on paper, then click to check their answers. Nothing to print, nothing to mark.
How it's structured:
- Every unit opens with a worked example clicked through line by line, then two practice questions, then 12 more colour coded easy, medium and hard
- 118 practice questions in total, every answer hidden behind click to reveal, with a Reveal All button on each page and a New Questions button that deals a fresh set
- A final 20 question Big Mix that pulls from all 7 units at once, the way a real paper does
Three hands-on tools sit inside the lesson. An Anagram Builder your child types or clicks letters into, a Code Machine that steps one letter at a time along a lit up alphabet, and Crack the Key, a number code puzzle that deals a brand new set of words every time. The A to Z alphabet strip is printed above every code page, exactly as it is on the real paper, so your child practises with the same tool they will have in the exam.
Use this if:
- Your child is in Year 4 to Year 7 and preparing for an 11+ verbal reasoning paper
- They can do the maths but freeze on the letter questions
- They decode in the wrong direction, which is the single most common mistake on these questions
- You want a resource your child can check their own work with, not one more thing on your to-do list

Great maths tutor. He is always on time, gives plenty of homework, attentive during lessons and adapts his approach to suit my SEN child. He is professional and knowledgeable and my child looks forward to the lessons. The school have commented on my child’s progress as well.S. Hussain · April 2026
Aadam is really good at explaining things. He breaks everything down step by step and somehow makes it make sense even when she is totally lost. He is super attentive and sends extra materials after class. He really pays attention to each student and focuses on their progress.A. C. · May 2026

FAQs
How do I access the lesson?
You'll get an email with your lesson link as soon as payment goes through. Click it to open the lesson in any browser, no login and no app to install.
How does the marking work?
There's no typing answers into a box. Your child works it out on paper, then clicks to reveal the correct answer and checks their own work. Full working is shown too, not just the final answer, so mistakes are easy to spot.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
It works best on a tablet or laptop, where there's more room to read the examples and questions. It'll open on a phone too, but the text and diagrams can feel quite small on a smaller screen.
Can I use the lesson more than once?
Yes. There's no limit on how many times you open the link, so it's there for revision right up to the exam.
What if I lose the link or don't get the email?
