Help needed on letter pattern :-O
On DCs VR practise paper (no answer sheet) there is the following letter sequence:
DWL MEX YNF GZO
Can't work out the next sequence?
Help please
Thanks

Thanks Heartmum x x x
Re: Help needed on letter pattern :-O
I know the first letter of the next sequence is P.
The first letter of the next sequence follows on from the last letter of the previous one.
Just need a few more hours to work out the rest.
Just spotted the next pattern.

Re: Help needed on letter pattern :-O
If you write the sequences vertically instead of horizontally it's easier to spot the pattern.
So
D W L
M E X
Y N F
G Z O
P H A
I think.
I have never before seen one like this so I'm not sure what the 'quick' strategy would be.

now you've set it out like that I can see a pattern but would wonder how a DC would be able to do that in a test without the help of the lovely colours to make it stand out!Perhaps there is another way ... hope they don't have many of those in the paper!!!!

Re: Help needed on letter pattern :-O
I used colour because it was easier than a wordy explanation (you saw my first attempt). 
Maybe using arrows to show the diagonal pattern? Tbh, I think that once DC know this type of question exists, they probably spot it quickly. What does Patricia's sticky say?

Can't see anything on Patricia's sticky ...
Patricia, font of all VR knowledge - your advice is needed

Not seen one like this for a long time!
Where does it come from? Not a stock 21 type of question.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
DWL MEX YNF GZO
1st letter plus 1 = 2nd letter of next set
2nd letter plus 1 = 3rd letter of next set
3rd letter plus 1 = 1st letter of next set
G plus 1 = H[second letter]
Z plus 1 = A [third letter]
O plus 1 = P [first letter]
answer = PHA

... as they say 'Forewarned is forearmed!'Patricia, showed my DC your explanation, the response " wow, she's like really clever!"

Re: Help needed on letter pattern :-O
I have been teaching VR for so long that I can just spot patterns!
I also see compound words and hidden 4 letter words when reading the newspaper or a book.
How sad is that!
Where did you find this question Heartmum?
