Identify subtle word relationships across categories such as function, degree, or part-whole
What you'll learn
- 1
An analogy is like a puzzle where two pairs of words match in the same way. Think of it like matching pairs of socks — the first pair tells you how the second pair should look!

If 'dog is to puppy' (adult : baby), which word completes 'cat is to ___'?
- 3
Drag the word that best matches the pattern: 'hot is to cold' (opposites). Which word goes with 'big'?
- 4
Let's solve one together: 'tree is to forest' (one : many). What is 'star' to?
- 5
Now you try: 'paint is to brush' (tool : what you use it with). Which word goes with 'write'?
- 6
Which pair matches the pattern 'happy is to joyful' (same meaning)?
