Your score will be calculated in the following way:
Score = % wrong anagrams x time to complete de task
Example:
% wrong anagrams = 10%
Task completion time = 300 seconds
Score = 10% x 300 = 30

Therefore, the lower your score, the better your performance!
You will participate in a task involving anagrams. An anagram is a word made by using letters of another word in a different order. You will be given a word which has a meaning and transform it into another word with the same letters but with a different meaning. For each word there will be a cue for you to find the answer.
Examples:
Change toga into an animal.
Answer: goat
Change flog into a sport.
Answer: golf
You will be given a list of 24 anagrams. Your job will be to solve the anagrams as fast and accurately as possible.
If you can’t find the answer to a given anagram, leave it blank and skip to the next one.
