Level 1 · easy
- CIRCUS
- CLOWN + TENT
- BREAKFAST
- PANCAKE + CEREAL
- ARCTIC
- IGLOO + WALRUS
- WEDDING
- RING + VEIL
The card that did not belong: JUGGLER, NOTEBOOK, GLACIER, HINGE. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium

- VENICE
- GONDOLA + MASK
- CAMPFIRE
- MARSHMALLOW + SPARK
- TENNIS
- RACKET + NET
The card that did not belong: DONKEY, CANAL, STAIRCASE, UMPIRE. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- ORBIT
- SATELLITE + PLANET
- BARK
- TREE + DOG
- PITCH
- BASEBALL + CHOIR
- SPRING
- COIL + TULIP
The card that did not belong: COMET, SLIPPER, FIELD, THIMBLE. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- JAVA
- COFFEE + CODE
- TURKEY
- FEAST + BOWLING
- MINT
- COIN + TOOTHPASTE
- BOLT
- LIGHTNING + SPRINTER
