A worked example

Choose the opposite meaning. happy

the answer is sad. happy ↔ sad

Look for a meaningful opposite

An opposite describes a contrasting quality, direction or state; it is more specific than simply a word with a different meaning. Compare each option with the prompt before answering. These rounds use ordinary English vocabulary, so language familiarity matters.

A useful way to practice

These activities use English words and spelling. Language familiarity affects performance, so a score is not a general intelligence measure. Read the full instruction: spelling, meaning and letter order are different tasks.
