Tips to Solve Word Arrangement in 2 Minutes
Word arrangement may sound tricky, but here we are providing some tips to solve them easily. Here are some simple yet effective tips to help you crack this topic quickly
Always Read the Instructions First
Before solving, read the instruction line carefully. It tells you exactly what to do, like replacing letters, changing order, or finding positions. Don’t rush. Read slowly and understand the rule first.
Write the Changed Words on a Rough Sheet
When you change letters or rearrange them, always write the new word on your rough page. It makes it easy to see the answer. For example, if you change letters in TEAM to AEMT, write it down to avoid confusion.
Learn Alphabet Order Well
Many questions ask to move to the next or previous letter (like A becomes B, D becomes C). You should know the ABC order well, so you don’t waste time. Practice A to Z and their positions daily for speed.
Be Careful with Left and Right
Some questions ask for “4th word from left” or “2nd letter from right.” Read these carefully so you don’t count from the wrong side.
