Complete the verbal analogy. Pick the word with the same relationship.
PlayMemorize Analogies is a free verbal reasoning game. You see a word-pair relationship like "Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ___" and must pick the word that completes the analogy with the same relationship. This trains verbal reasoning, one of the core measures of crystallized intelligence.
Many relationship types. Analogies cover function (saw : cut), location (sailor : ship), part-to-whole (leaf : tree), category (dog : mammal), cause-effect (fire : smoke), tool-user (scalpel : surgeon), characteristic (sun : hot), synonyms, and antonyms.
Progressive difficulty. Early rounds use everyday concrete pairs. As your streak grows, more abstract and nuanced relationships appear alongside trickier distractors.
Part of the PlayMemorize family of free brain-training games.
Q: What are verbal analogies?
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.
Q: Is the Analogies game free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no ads. Your high score is saved locally in your browser.
Q: How do I solve an analogy?
Identify the relationship in the first pair (e.g. "doctor works at a hospital"), then apply the same rule to the second word ("teacher works at a school"). Eliminate distractors that match by topic but not by relationship.
Q: What kinds of relationships are tested?
Function, location, part-to-whole, category membership, cause-effect, tool-user, typical characteristic, synonyms, and antonyms. Each round reveals which relationship type was at play.
