Tip of the tongue test
This tests how you find words. You have to guess the right word; the length of space does not correspond to the number of missing letters. First cover everything but the definition of each word with a sheet of paper. If you know what word it is write it down; if you are half sure writer down a guess. If you don’t know the word, move the paper down to see one letter; write it down if you know it or write down a guess. And so on. Then move down to see the right answer
