Arcade-style 11+ reasoning practice for ages 7–11. Synonyms, cloze, letter sequences, and harder vocabulary. Year 4 through Year 6.

Start free More for parents

The 11+ exam is used by selective grammar schools and independent schools across the UK to test verbal, numerical, and reasoning skills at the end of Year 6. The verbal element, synonyms, fill-in-the-blank cloze, letter sequences, hidden words, vocabulary stretch, is where most children find they need practice that their school year doesn’t cover.

Puzzitron blends 11+-style verbal practice with the cognitive-ability foundation that helps it stick. As your child progresses, the picker quietly tilts toward more 11+ content (and ramps the timer up from no-pressure to real exam pacing). Adults can pin the style to 11+ only at any point.

Free to start, with every skill area and 20 questions a day. Puzzitron Plus lifts the daily limit and adds the full parent report. See pricing. Calibrated for Year 4 through Year 6.

CAT4 + 11+ · D1VERBAL CLASSIFICATION

1 / 6

> Which word belongs with…

apple, banana, pear

11+ verbal types covered

All three 11+-style additions are in the bank today, alongside the four CAT4 batteries.

Synonyms

"Which word means the same as rapid?" Verbal-reasoning vocabulary practice pitched at a strong 9–11 year old.

Cloze (fill-in-the-blank)

Sentence with one word missing. Distractors are clearly wrong on meaning, word class, or grammar, so there is never a "two answers fit" moment.

Letter sequences

"A C E G ?" or "AB CD EF ?": the pattern-completion sub-test that 11+ exams lean on heavily.

Plus all 4 CAT4 batteries

Verbal classification, verbal analogies, number series, number analogies, figure classification, matrices, recognition and analysis. The CAT4 foundation that 11+ verbal builds on.

Frequently asked

Will this actually help with the 11+ exam?: It practises the same kinds of reasoning the 11+ verbal section uses (synonyms, cloze, letter sequences, vocabulary stretch). It is NOT a predictor of exam outcomes. It's regular, low-pressure practice that builds familiarity with the question types your child will face. For exam-specific timing and format drilling, supplement with a 6-week-out tutor or workbook closer to the exam.
Is this the real 11+?: No. Puzzitron is a private practice game using 11+-style questions, not affiliated with any specific 11+ exam provider (CEM, GL Assessment, ISEB, school admissions consortia etc.). Different schools use different 11+ formats; Puzzitron covers the verbal-reasoning skills common to most.
What year groups is it suitable for?: Year 3 through Year 6 (ages 7–11). The content tilts toward 11+-style as your child progresses. Younger / newer children see mostly CAT4-style; older / longer-tenure children get the 11+ stretch. Adults can override at any point.
Is it free?: Yes, to start. One child can use Puzzitron free for as long as you like, with every skill area, 20 questions a day and no card. Puzzitron Plus adds unlimited practice, every mock paper and the full parent report for up to 5 children, from £6.99 a month, or £59 for a 12-month pass paid once.
How does the CAT4-vs-11+ blend work?: Three modes, set per child by the adult: CAT4 only / 11+ only / Mix (recommended). Mix automatically ramps from CAT4-heavy at signup to 11+-heavy after 3 years on the platform. Younger children see practice that builds the foundation; older / longer-tenure children see content closer to where they're heading.
What about my child's data?: Minimum data needed for the app to work. First name, three-word handle, hashed PIN, practice history. No third-party trackers where your child plays. UK/EU hosted. Soft-delete with 30-day restore; hard-delete cascades through everything we hold.
