Word codes questions follow a predictable structure in real 11-Plus papers. This worksheet builds mastery progressively — simple substitution codes first, then number-letter systems, then the multi-step challenges that trip up even well-prepared children.
Single-step alphabetic substitution codes. Decode and encode using consistent shift rules. The foundation of all word code questions.
Number-to-letter substitution, reverse alphabet codes, and alternating shift patterns. Tests systematic thinking under timed conditions.
Two-step encoding rules, position-dependent codes, and cipher tables. The complex questions that appear in the hardest selective school papers.
Every answer shown with full working so children can see exactly where they went wrong and learn the correct method.
One purchase, unlimited prints. Practice until the code-breaking process is automatic — speed matters in the real exam.
