Level 1 · easy
- AMAZON
- PARROT + JUNGLE
- CROSS
- RIVER + BRIDGE
- POKER
- CARD + KING
- JEWEL
- GOLD + CROWN
The card that did not belong: TIGER, BOTTLE, ACE, CARPET. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- POP
- NEEDLE + BALLOON
- TRAP
- CHEESE + MOUSE
- BOARD
- LADDER + SNAKE
- WEB
- NET + SPIDER
The card that did not belong: PIN, HAMMER, DICE, CACTUS. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- WITCH
- APPLE + POISON
- PLUTO
- DWARF + PLANET
- BOXING
- RING + GLOVE
- STILL
- LAKE + MIRROR
The card that did not belong: QUEEN, CARPET, PUNCH, TURNIP. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- RISE
- ASH + PHOENIX
- SOFT
- PILLOW + FEATHER
- DUEL
- FIGHT + SWORD
- ARTHUR
- KING + STONE
The card that did not belong: FLAME, DOMINO, PISTOL, ACORN. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
