How It Works

The paragraphs below appear in a jumbled order. Drag them into their original order.

Look for linking words and logical flow between sentences.

Scoring Factors

  • Coherence: Track pronouns, transitions, and repeated keywords.
  • Logic: Identify cause-effect and problem-solution sequences.
  • Structure: Find the topic sentence and concluding line.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Starting with a sentence that references something not yet introduced.
  • Ignoring time sequence words like “first”, “then”, “finally”.
  • Not re-reading the full paragraph order before submitting.

Practice Method

Use a three-step approach: find the opener, link middle paragraphs with connectors, then place the conclusion.
