Question 1

What are verbal analogies?

Accepted Answer

Verbal analogies are a classic reasoning format where two word-pairs share the same underlying relationship. They appear on the SAT, GRE, MAT, and most IQ tests because they measure both vocabulary and abstract relational thinking · either alone is not enough to solve them reliably.

Question 2

How does my progress save in the Analogies game?

Accepted Answer

Your best streak per (mode, option count) combination is stored locally in your browser · word-mode and emoji-mode records are tracked separately, since they test slightly different skills. Sign in to sync across devices.

Question 3

How do I solve an analogy?

Accepted Answer

Name the relationship in the first pair explicitly · "a doctor works at a hospital". Plug the third word into the same sentence · "a teacher works at a ?". Only one option will fit cleanly; same-topic distractors that fail the relationship test fall away. Decide on the relationship before you look at the options · that is the standard test-prep advice and it works.

Question 4

What kinds of relationships are tested?

Accepted Answer

Country-capital, continent, young-of-animal, habitat, function, workplace, worker-product, category, antonym, synonym, part-to-whole, tool-user, typical characteristic, and degree. Each round reveals which relationship type was at play, so over time you build a working vocabulary of relations.

Question 5

What is the difference between word and emoji mode?

Accepted Answer

Word mode is the classic verbal test · the relationships hide behind vocabulary. Emoji mode runs the same relationships as picture-pairs · a sun-pictogram : a hot-pictogram :: a snowflake : ?. Emoji mode strips out the vocabulary load and tests pure relational pattern recognition, which is useful for non-native English speakers and younger players.
