Spelling a word is knowing it twice — once by sound and once by sight. Completing words with missing letters forces you to picture the whole word in your mind, letter by letter, which is exactly the skill strong spellers use. This quiz focuses on useful words starting with A — words like apple, ample, anchor, angel, angry, animal — covering everyday objects, actions, places and ideas.
Many A words are things you meet at home and in the street. Completing them trains your eyes to spot the shape of a word instantly, without sounding it out letter by letter.
Some words come from textbook language — science, history and geography — where correct spelling matters in every written answer and notebook page.
Word-completion and spelling questions appear in school tests and competitive exams. Practising by letter gives you steady, measurable revision you can track with the score bar.
A missing-letters question takes a complete word and hides one or more letters in the middle or at the end. Everything else about the word stays visible: the first letter, the letters around the gap and the overall shape. In this quiz you choose the full word from four options, and the gap fills with the missing letters.
Teachers and puzzle makers love the format because it is quicker than writing a whole word from memory, yet it still tests the same skill: holding the exact letter sequence of a word in your head. It also scales beautifully — remove one letter for beginners, remove a digraph such as sh or a double letter such as zz for a real challenge.
| The masked word | Answer | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| ap_le | apple | Only apple gives ap-p-l-e; the gap takes the double p. |
| bru_h | brush | The digraph sh completes the word; brub or bruk are not words. |
| tr_n | train | The vowel team ai fills the gap; tron and trun are not words. |
| cand_ | candy | The common -y ending completes the word naturally. |
Quiz writers hide letters where spellings are genuinely tricky. Learn these four hiding places, and many answers will find themselves.
Words like pu_le (puzzle), ha_y (happy) and che_se (cheese) hide twin letters. Ask yourself: does this word have two of the same letter in a row?
Two letters, one sound: sh in bru_h, ch in lau_h, th in mo_her. The gap often hides the whole pair, so test both letters together.
Long vowels are often written as teams: ai in tr_n, ea in l_ f, ee in sw_p. English spells long sounds in several ways, so the options matter.
Common endings such as -y, -ly, -ing and -ed are frequent gap material. If the visible part looks like a stem, think about how the word ends.
When the missing letters do not come immediately, slow down and work through these steps before you answer.
These six patterns hide in missing-letters questions again and again. Learn each with its example, and you will start spotting the gap pattern instantly.
| Pattern | Masked example | Completed word |
|---|---|---|
| Double letters | pu_le | puzzle |
| Consonant digraphs | bru_h | brush |
| Vowel teams | tr_n | train |
| Silent letters | kni_e | knife |
| Common endings | cand_ | candy |
| Soft sounds | ci_y | city |
Word-completion questions appear in literacy tests, spelling bees, school worksheets and competitive exams such as the SAT, GRE, IELTS, TOEFL and various banking and Olympiad papers. Some give four options, as this quiz does; others ask you to write the whole word. The core skill is the same, so practising here transfers directly.
Fifteen to twenty minutes a day is enough. Follow this plan, then move on to the next letter.
Teachers, tutors and parents can turn this letter quiz into a longer learning session with these simple ideas.
Students take turns hiding one or two letters in a word and challenging a partner to complete it. Choosing where to put the gap is itself a spelling exercise.
After each answer, students write the complete word from memory. The click shows recognition; the writing proves recall.
Open this page on a projector, split the class into teams and award a point for each correct answer. The sticky score bar makes tracking easy.
Add each A word to the class word wall with a paper flap covering the tricky letters that students can lift.
This page has 72 questions, all on one page and split into 8 sets of up to 10. Each question shows a word with one or more letters missing; you choose the word that completes it correctly from four options.
You will complete words such as: ap_le = apple, a_ple = ample, an_hor = anchor In every question the full word begins with A, and the answer key at the bottom of the page lists all 72 words with their missing letters.
A missing-letters question shows a word with a gap where one or more letters should be. You use the letters around the gap, your feeling for spelling patterns and the four options to work out which word completes it. It is one of the most common formats in spelling tests, literacy worksheets and word puzzles.
Say the word aloud in your head, look at the letters before and after the gap, and test each option in the space. The correct option produces a real word; the others produce nonsense. Watch for double letters, digraphs such as sh and ch, and common endings.
