Introduction to Word from Word - Intermediate

Word from Word Intermediate problems involve extracting longer words (4-6 letters) from a larger word. You must check letter availability and frequency in the source word.

Prerequisites

Intermediate vocabulary Letter frequency counting Word recognition Spelling skills
Why This Matters: Word from Word Intermediate problems appear in 1-2 questions in SSC CGL and Banking exams. They test vocabulary and letter frequency analysis.

How to Solve Word from Word - Intermediate Problems

1

Step 1: Write the main word and count letter frequencies

2

Step 2: For each candidate word, check if all letters are in main word

3

Step 3: Check if candidate uses any letter more times than available

4

Step 4: Eliminate words that fail

5

Step 5: The remaining word(s) are the answer

Pro Strategy: Count frequencies carefully, especially for common letters like E, N, T, A, I, O. Watch for words that need duplicate letters.

Example Problem

Example: From 'GENERATION', which word can be formed? Options: NATION, TRAIN, RATION, NOTION Solution: Step 1: GENERATION letters: G(1), E(2), N(2), R(1), A(1), T(1), I(1), O(1) Step 2: NATION needs N,A,T,I,O → all available ✓ Step 3: TRAIN needs T,R,A,I,N → all available ✓ Step 4: RATION needs R,A,T,I,O,N → all available ✓ Step 5: NOTION needs N,O,T,I,O,N → needs two O's and two N's? Actually N(2) available, O(1) available but NOTION has O(1) only? NOTION has O twice? N-O-T-I-O-N has two O's and two N's. Need 2 O's, only 1 available ✗ Answer: NATION, TRAIN, RATION can be formed

Pro Tips & Tricks

  • The word 'GENERATION' has E(2), N(2), all other letters once
  • The word 'EDUCATION' has no R, so words with R are invalid
  • The word 'IMPORTANT' has no C, so words with C are invalid
  • The word 'COMPUTER' has unique letters except no duplicates
  • Common source words: GENERATION, EDUCATION, IMPORTANT, COMPUTER, INFORMATION

Shortcut Methods to Solve Faster

From GENERATION: NATION, TRAIN, RATION, RING, NEAR, TONE, NOTE, IRON
From EDUCATION: NATION, ACTION, NOTE, DUE, DUCT, CUTE, DATE, TUNE
From IMPORTANT: TRAIN, MAIN, PART, RANT, PORT, PAINT, PRINT

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Forgetting to count duplicate letters in source word
Using a letter more times than available
Not checking if candidate word has letters not in source
Assuming all letters in source must be used
