Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
LRBOPME
Something difficult or annoying for someone. Some problems can be solved or made easier by a digital system, like an app, but others need something non-digital, like a tool.
2
EUSR DENE
Something a user must be able to do or have to finish a task or fix their problem. A need is not just a want. We write it as: The user needs to...
3
ETH OIOSNLTU STMU
Starts a functional requirement: one thing a digital solution must do. It says what the solution does, not how, and covers one action. Example: ______ show the score.
4
UESSCCS ECIRTIORN
A checkable statement about what a solution must do for the user, like 'The user can log in.' You check it with yes or no to see if the solution works.
5
ITMPOENOISCDO
Breaking a big problem into smaller parts, so each part is simple enough to solve in a few steps. You can then choose one part to solve first.
6
GRLMIAHOT
A set of clear steps, in order, that solves a problem or completes a task, like a recipe or morning routine. Each step must be precise so a person or computer can follow it.
7
UQNEECES
Steps that run one after another in a set order. Changing the order, leaving a step out or adding an extra step can change the result.
8
1. EGT A OWBL
A written algorithm step. Each line has one number and one action, and starts with a command word like Get, Add or Show. Steps go 1, 2, 3 in order.

1LRBOPME → problem — Something difficult or annoying for someone. Some problems can be solved or made easier by a digital system, like an app, but others need something non-digital, like a tool.
2EUSR DENE → user need — Something a user must be able to do or have to finish a task or fix their problem. A need is not just a want. We write it as: The user needs to...
3ETH OIOSNLTU STMU → The solution must — Starts a functional requirement: one thing a digital solution must do. It says what the solution does, not how, and covers one action. Example: The solution must show the score.
4UESSCCS ECIRTIORN → success criterion — A checkable statement about what a solution must do for the user, like 'The user can log in.' You check it with yes or no to see if the solution works.
5ITMPOENOISCDO → decomposition — Breaking a big problem into smaller parts, so each part is simple enough to solve in a few steps. You can then choose one part to solve first.
6GRLMIAHOT → algorithm — A set of clear steps, in order, that solves a problem or completes a task, like a recipe or morning routine. Each step must be precise so a person or computer can follow it.
7UQNEECES → sequence — Steps that run one after another in a set order. Changing the order, leaving a step out or adding an extra step can change the result.
