Synonyms and Antonyms Analogies Worksheets - Free Printable

Explanation:
We need to match each word in the top grid with its synonym from the bottom word bank.

Let’s go row by row:

First column (left):
- small → tiny (tiny means very small)
- thin → skinny (skinny means very thin)
- huge → large (huge and large both mean big)
- quick → fast (quick and fast both mean moving or acting rapidly)

Second column (middle):
- toasty → warm (toasty means pleasantly warm, like toasted bread)
- slow → easy? No — slow is opposite of fast. Let’s check options: remaining words are *easy, tired, delicious, freezing, unusual, pokey*. Wait — “pokey” is a slang synonym for slow (e.g., “He’s a bit pokey”). Yes! Pokey = slow.
- sleepy → tired (sleepy means feeling like you want to sleep; tired is close — often used interchangeably for low energy)
- cold → freezing (freezing means extremely cold)

Third column (right):
- strange → unusual (strange and unusual both mean not normal)
- tasty → delicious (tasty = pleasant taste; delicious is a stronger synonym)
- mean → nasty? Or pokey? But pokey we already used for slow. Let’s list all words used so far:

Used:
- tiny (for small)
- skinny (for thin)
- large (for huge)
- fast (for quick)
- warm (for toasty)
- pokey (for slow)
- tired (for sleepy)
- freezing (for cold)
- unusual (for strange)
- delicious (for tasty)

Remaining words in bank: easy, tired — wait, tired is used. Let's recount the word bank:

Word bank (bottom):
Row 1: warm, large, easy, tired, delicious, skinny
Row 2: nasty, freezing, unusual, fast, tiny, pokey

That’s 12 words.

Top grid has 12 slots (4 rows × 3 columns). So each word used once.

Let’s assign carefully:

1. small → tiny ✔
2. thin → skinny ✔
3. huge → large ✔
4. quick → fast ✔
5. toasty → warm ✔
6. slow → pokey ✔ (yes, “pokey” is informal for slow)
7. sleepy → tired ✔
8. cold → freezing ✔
9. strange → unusual ✔
10. tasty → delicious ✔
11. mean → nasty ✔ (mean can mean unkind; nasty also means unkind or unpleasant)
12. simple → easy ✔ (simple and easy are synonyms)

Now check: All 12 words used exactly once.

Yes! That fits perfectly.

Final matching:
- small ↔ tiny
- thin ↔ skinny
- huge ↔ large
- quick ↔ fast
- toasty ↔ warm
- slow ↔ pokey
- sleepy ↔ tired
- cold ↔ freezing
- strange ↔ unusual
- tasty ↔ delicious
- mean ↔ nasty
- simple ↔ easy

Final Answer:
small–tiny, thin–skinny, huge–large, quick–fast, toasty–warm, slow–pokey, sleepy–tired, cold–freezing, strange–unusual, tasty–delicious, mean–nasty, simple–easy
