Non-verbal reasoning practice, one picture puzzle at a time.
Exam-style picture puzzles with five answer pictures (A–E), in the styles 11+ papers use. Every puzzle is drawn by our own generator and checked so that there is exactly one sensible answer, and every answer comes with a clear explanation of the rule, so a wrong answer turns into a lesson.
Question styles
- Shape Analogies. Work out how the first shape changes into the second, then do the same to the third.
- Star Patterns. Find the triangle that completes the pattern in the star.
- Odd One Out. Spot the picture that doesn’t belong with the other four.
- Series. Work out what comes next in the sequence of pictures.
- Matrix Puzzles. Complete the 3×3 square using the rules in its rows and columns.
- Rotations. Find the shape that is the same, just turned round (not flipped over).
- Mirror Images. Pick the reflection of a shape in a mirror line.
- Shape Codes. Crack the secret code from three examples, then code a new picture.
Start with a mixed round, drill a single question style, or retry only the questions that need work. Switch on a timed test when it’s time to build exam pace.

These are real puzzles from the app, shown as your child will meet them. Each style has its own rule to spot, so they get a proper mix rather than the same trick on repeat.

Puzzles you can trust.
The worst thing in non-verbal practice is an answer key that’s wrong, or a puzzle with two right answers. So every puzzle here is built and checked by code before a child ever sees it.
Exactly one right answer
Every puzzle is built from a rule, then checked by code so that only one answer fits. There is nothing ambiguous to second-guess.
Five clearly different choices
The answer pictures are compared as images, and a puzzle is thrown out if any two look alike. Your child chooses between real ideas, not near-identical drawings.
The rule, explained
Every answer comes with a plain explanation of the rule. Tricky puzzles come back later, so a wrong answer turns into a lesson that sticks.
Original practice puzzles in the style of 11+ papers. They are not copies of any published paper, and AceEleven is not affiliated with any exam provider or school.
Then try it against the clock.
