How good is your English vocabulary? Do you like playing word games and solving crossword puzzles? If you are up for a challenge, here are some word games you can try. The answers for all of them are given at the end of the article; you can check them once you are done with them.
When you started learning the English language, you would have learnt monosyllabic words, disyllabic words and trisyllabic words and slowly moved on to polysyllabic words. Later, you might have learnt them according to their functions as well. Today, let us first see how good you are with small words. The following section will require you to identify one-letter words to five-letter words by decoding the clues provided. With each correct answer, you would gain two points; calculate them at the end to see how much you scored.
