- WHALE + WAVE
- FARM
- TRACTOR + COW
- WINTER
- SNOWMAN + SCARF
- EGYPT
- PYRAMID + MUMMY
The card that did not belong: ANCHOR, BUTTON, FROST, WALLET. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- JULIET

- ICARUS
- WINGS + SUN
- BRAZIL
- SAMBA + RAINFOREST
- PLUMBER
- WRENCH + LEAK
The card that did not belong: RADISH, LABYRINTH, MITTEN, SINK. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- DRESSING
- SALAD + BANDAGE
- NAIL
- HAMMER + POLISH
- SINK
- TITANIC + DISHES
- BELT
- JUDO + BUCKLE
The card that did not belong: VINEGAR, CHEETAH, DRAIN, FLUTE. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- JOKER
- BATMAN + PRANK
- CUT
- DIRECTOR + BARBER
- HOP
- BEER + KANGAROO
- TRIANGLE
- BERMUDA + PERCUSSION
