Alphabet Test Questions with Solutions
Alphabet test questions check how well you know the English alphabet and letter positions. This topic covers finding a letter at a given position from the left or right, letters between two given letters, arranging words in dictionary order, forming meaningful words from given letters, and questions on the positions of letters in a word compared with their positions in the alphabet. Speed comes from knowing the forward and reverse positions of every letter without counting. A useful memory aid is EJOTY (E = 5, J = 10, O = 15, T = 20, Y = 25). The letter at position n from the right is at position 27 - n from the left. For dictionary-order questions, compare words letter by letter from the start. Practise the alphabet test questions below, each with a step-by-step solution.
