Level 1 · easy
- FAMOUS
- CELEBRITY + AUTOGRAPH
- WOOD
- PLANK + CARPENTER
- MORNING
- ROOSTER + SUNRISE
- TALL
- GIRAFFE + SKYSCRAPER
The card that did not belong: SPOTLIGHT, PANDA, CROISSANT, TUNNEL. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- ONION
- TEARS + LAYERS
- BLOOD
- DONOR + MOSQUITO
- DOOR
- KNOCK + HINGE
- HAT
- MAGICIAN + TRICK
The card that did not belong: PEEL, THUNDER, HANDLE, SAXOPHONE. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- BAT
- VAMPIRE + CRICKET
- SPACE
- KEYBOARD + PARKING
- PLANT
- FACTORY + FERN
- HORN
- RHINO + TRAFFIC
The card that did not belong: CAVE, GLUE, FLOWER, BARBER. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- BOND
- SPY + GLUE
- SAVE
- GOALKEEPER + DISCOUNT
- MINOR
- TEENAGER + CHORD
- CAROUSEL
- LUGGAGE + HORSES
The card that did not belong: PEBBLE, LIFEGUARD, MUSTARD, AIRPORT. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
