Last updated on Jun 3, 2025

Word formation is a topic that comes under verbal reasoning in which, a word is given in the question and we need to match the word which can be formed from the given options, from the letters of the given word. Sometimes, a set of alphabets is given in a jumbled form and we are asked to arrange them into a meaningful order. In some questions, we are asked to choose particular letters from a word and arrange them to form a meaningful word. Word formation is the process of implementing our intellectual knowledge to form a meaningful word from a given series of jumbled letters. We should have strong vocabulary knowledge to solve these types of questions in some cases. Otherwise, most of the questions can be easily solved by just matching the letters of the options given with the word given in the question.
