In SCAMPER, which action is represented by the letter R?

• A. Substitute
• B. Combine
• C. Rearrange
• D. Put

Answer: (C)

SCAMPER is a creative prompt tool used to generate new ideas by asking different questions about a product or process. The letter R stands for Rearrange. This means thinking about how things are arranged, ordered, or sequenced and exploring changes to those arrangements to create improvements or new possibilities. For example, you might rearrange the order of steps in a process to speed it up, redesign the layout of controls on a device for easier use, or reposition components to save space or improve ergonomics. This focus on changing arrangement sets it apart from substituting parts, combining elements, or finding a new use. In some versions, the R is listed as Reverse, but the common DT interpretation is Rearrange, emphasizing changes to layout or sequence rather than reversing function.
