Level 1 · easy
- GREEN
- FROG + LETTUCE
- CLEVER
- FOX + GENIUS
- CASTLE
- DUNGEON + THRONE
- LOUD
- DRUM + THUNDER
The card that did not belong: CUCUMBER, MUSEUM, PALACE, PASSPORT. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- MAGNET
- FRIDGE + POLE
- GREENHOUSE
- TOMATO + GLASS
- OXYGEN
- DIVER + LUNGS
- WALLET
- LEATHER + RECEIPT
The card that did not belong: BISCUIT, GARDENER, SANDAL, POCKET. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- KEY
- PIANO + LOCK
- COURT
- JUDGE + BADMINTON
- PEN
- INK + PIG
- FLOAT
- PARADE + RAFT
The card that did not belong: DOOR, PEPPER, NOTEBOOK, STAPLER. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- TROJAN
- HORSE + VIRUS
- NOBEL
- DYNAMITE + PEACE
- BRUSSELS
- SPROUT + PARLIAMENT
- PILOT

The card that did not belong: GOAT, SWEDEN, NAIL, AIRPORT. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
